Assignment:

After reading Chapter, "Who, Why," in Linda Hutcheon's A Theory of Adaptation, consider how the concepts of "who" adapts and "why" they adapt relate to the "what" of adaptation discussed.

1. Who are the key players in film adaptations, and how do their motivations and perspectives influence the adaptation process? Consider the roles of the adaptor, audience, and original creator.

2. Reflect on the reasons behind why adaptations are made. Drawing on Hutcheon's work, discuss the balance between commercial, artistic, and cultural motivations.

3. Now, thinking about a film adaptation you're familiar with:

- Identify the "who" (i.e., who adapted it and who was the intended audience).

- Delve into the "why" (i.e., what might have been the motivations behind adapting this particular work? Were they commercial, artistic, a combination, or something else?).

- Finally, connect your findings to the "what" from Chapter. How did the adaptation's form and content reflect the motivations and players behind it?

Please provide specific examples from the chapter and the film adaptation you're discussing. Remember to engage with your peers' posts, noting similarities and differences in interpretation.
