Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

One of these key differences can be found through the attitudes and portrayals of each of the characters. Baptista Minola, (the father of Bianca and Katherine) in the play, is a very respectable and confident man. But in the movie he acts extremely timid and scared;

There are key differences and similarities between the play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and its movie equivalent. Major differences would include the character Maggie, the possible homosexual relationship between Brick and Skipper, and the reason for Maggie’s distaste for Skipper. Similarities include most of the cast, the overall plot, and the bitterness that the family seems to not so secretly hold for each other.

The plots are quite similar in both plays, both the film and the play tell a story about a man who meets 3 people, in the

differences exist between the original play and the film. Apart from the specific techniques of lighting and

Another significant change is in the character portrayal. In the play, Parris seemed to be overly egocentric and self-conscious. He is still thus in the movie, but is more whiny, and annoyingly so. Putnam, also, seems to have a personality change. In the play, his personality is not so domineering as in the movie, where he is bordering on psychotic. His role seems to be made larger and more significant in the movie, which presumably accounts for the change in character representation.

Another difference in the movie from the play is the obvious different points of view. The play is told from Estela’s point of view and the movie is shown through Ana’s point of view. The play shows more of Estela’s struggles in the factory, not being able to pay for the machines, paying rent and most being an undocumented worker in the

I compared Act One, Scene 2, in the play and the film. The setting in the play is on a Saturday morning, and house cleaning is in process at the Youngers. In the film, the setting is the same as play, with lighting and costumes. The plot in the play is when Mrs. Younger gets the insurance check of $10,000. In the film, the plot is the same, but includes music not mentioned in the play. The dialogue in the film has some deletions from the original text, with new dialogue added throughout the scene.

One such adaptation is the 1961 film of the same name that was directed by Daniel Petrie. This film was not only Petrie’s second film, it was also “his most well-known and critically acclaimed”(DGA). Unlike the later adaptations starring Danny Glover and Sean Combs, the original stage performers, which included Sidney Poitier, and Ruby Dee all reprised their roles. This version is also impact because it was one of the rare films of the time that featured an almost entire African American cast and while this version was chosen because it is one of the foundations that others are built, it is the closest adaptation of the original play given a few creative licenses.

After the bumper car ride, Blake, by himself, made his way to the next ride. As he kept exploring the area, he found a swinging boat- obviously the next ride. It seemed like a regular swinging boat ride at first, however, then, turns into a real-life ship, out at sea, with a blue whale trying to destroy it. After trying to survive on the ride for a while, Blake realized that his mother?s boyfriend, Carl, was actually the captain of the ship, which did not seem to be true. Blake finally found Quinn- clinging from a rope up atop the boat- and they linked arms and jumped off the edge of the boat, into the deep blue sea.

the play. The “Anne Frank” play was very similar to the “Anne Frank” movie, but they also had some

The final three differences all have to do with Abigail. First of all, she is seen stealing money from her uncle where in the play we only hear of it second-hand. Second, in the movie, Abigail visits John Proctor in jail, which never occurred in the play. Lastly, Abigail accuses the Reverend John Hale 's wife of witchcraft, and is told by Judge Danforth that she is mistaken. This did not happen in the play, but helps in the movie to more clearly define Abigail as one of the "bad guys" in the movie.

The uncertainty of Jimmy's death is very important to Monkey Beach's philosophy. The reader can choose to believe Jimmy is dead because he is seen as a ghost, or the reader can agree that he is not dead because Ma-ma-oo and mick tell him to “Take care of [Lisa] yourself, wherever you’re going”(Robinson 228). One can agree on either side, but no one can definitively say whether he has died.

After days of being out at sea a storm started up. Lightning struck the boat, but everyone was okay. It had seemed like a long night, while the boat shook back and forth from the storm. Ben tried to fall asleep for hours and finally was able to.

Comparing a play to its movie adaptation is something that is hard to do since there is no tangible way a person can capture the original then change it to make the movie version of it up to par to the original. From the original play of A Midsummer’s Night Dream that was created by Shakespeare in the movie version of it created by Michael Hoffman, there are many similarities and differences that are in the movie some are very stark while others are very subtle differences.
