Assignment - A Play vs Its Film Comparison Essay

Question Description - Read The Little Foxes play and in a carefully crafted couple of paragraphs of no fewer than 350-500 words, compare one element of the film to the play. Your goal is to write a unified and coherent post that makes and develops a point worth making and that explores one major component of the film's adaptation. Your focus should thus center on an addition, a change, or an omission that stems from the filmmaker's re-visioning of the playwright's original material or from the differences between the stage and screen mediums (including differences that were most likely mandated by the Production Code).

You can safely assume that readers are familiar with both the play and film, so be sure to analyze rather than merely summarize--that is, focus on the how and why rather than the what. And as you may have learned in other English classes, it is customary to use the present tense when writing about both literature and film. You would therefore say "Regina tells Horace that ..." rather than "Regina told Horace that ..."; or, "Stanley enters and tosses the meat to Stella" rather than "Stanley entered and tossed the meat to Stella."
