Imagine you are going to adapt one of the works on the syllabus for film. Write

Imagine you are going to adapt one of the works on the syllabus for film. Write an essay describing and explaining your choices. Consider the following:
• Casting – Whom would you select to play the major roles? Why?
• Setting – Would you try to maintain the original setting or would you use contemporary costumes, places, etc?
• Plot – Would you update any aspect of the plot to fit contemporary social issues?
Have fun with this assignment. Be creative. You will be graded on how well your essay demonstrates a thorough understanding of the text. Any adaptation can be seen as an interpretation of an original work of literature; so, your adaptation needs to be grounded in a clear analysis of the text.
