Differences Between The Play And Educating Rita

Both of these endings work well in their respective mediums. There is no written law that says a producer or director has to strictly reinforce all the themes of the novel that are being adapted to the screen. If this were true that would make for an entirely dull piece of work, which brings me to the Michael Winner version.

Whilst in the book, everyone’s death is inevitable and looming; but in the movie, Vera and Philip Lombard (who is actually a man named Charles Morley) went skipping off the island with Fred Narracott, the captain of the boat that brought the guests to Soldier Island. The ending left the readers with satisfaction and with the hope that Vera and Charles live happily ever after. Regardless of how the book ended, countless number of fans enjoyed watching the movie even with all it’s changes. This pleased the audience and gave them an inspiration that the book did not

The actions in the play and the movie are notably different in the end. In the beginning of the play and movie Anne and peter did not react to one another at all but Anne wanted to get peter in his comfort zone. Then Anne and Peter would argue and fight over stupid stuff. Also they called each other names. Like when Peter called Anne

The play version of The Diary of Anne Frank tells the story of a young girl who is hiding away with her family from the Nazis during World War II. In this play, Anne struggles with the changes of life and finding who she wants to be while trapped in the annex with multiple other people. While the play of Anne’s diary is still read and viewed today, there is a newer version of her diary; a movie. The movie has slightly changed the events of the play to share Anne’s story with a modern audience. In the movie, the audience see Anne change from a regular life in Amsterdam to a completely new life in the secret annex. Although the play and the movie versions of Anne Frank’s life differ in their organizational structure, both works contain the same

Her job and dialect optimize the way she grew up, and how the expectations of her upbringing limit her future, as being a working class woman she is expected to get married, have children and then become a housewife, ‘I should've had a baby by now. Everyone expects it.’ There were no further expectations for women and certainly no need for them to have an education, ‘Denny gets dead narked if I work at home’. Rita doesn’t like the housewife stereotype and decides to rebel against it by taking the pill and starting a formal education, ‘But I mean, I don't want a baby yet. No. I wanna discover meself first.’ Rita’s family refuse to see the benefits that this could give her and this leads her father to feel sorry for Denny and to feel annoyed at Rita’s lack of commitment to her family, ‘Denny, I'm sorry for you, lad. If she was a wife of mine I'd drown her.’ When Rita thinks about quitting the course to please her family, it’s her mother’s unintentional comment at the pub, ‘There must be better songs than this,’ which drives her forward in the course, ‘And I thought, ‘All I'm doing is getting an education. Just trying to learn. And I love it. It's not easy, I get it wrong half the time, I'm laughed at half the time but I love it because it makes me feel as

Rita notices his sad expression and asks him what was bothering him. Phil tries to explain to her that he was stuck on the same day, but she would not believe him. To prove that it was true, he begins stating random facts about people in the café. Surprised, Rita spends the whole day with him. At the end of the day, while they were discussing the situation, Rita tells him that he should think of this “curse” as an

I agreed with the idea of adding in the stealing food part because I don’t think that the play has to be the exact same as the book. Books are hardly ever the same as the movies nowadays. I don’t know if it was just me but the play was starting to get quite boring. The emotion of Mrs. Frank going off on Mr. Van Daan made me question about how I felt about Mrs. Frank. She was a gentle mother at the

The ending is probably the biggest difference between the novel and the film. The book contains an episode

Spectacle was very important in using visual elements to show changes in characters, as well as showing a difference between characters. By the clothes worn by Emma Lockwood and Herny Lockwood, the audience was able to tell that there they were a wealthy successful couple. Miriam and Duplay both wore clothes that didn’t seem expensive. However, after Duplay "helped" Henry Lockwood his choice of clothing changed. He wore a more professional suit, which was tied with career gain. This change in kind of clothing worn showed how much Duplay life changed and how much he gained after the mystery was resolved. Throughout the play, there were many times where the audience became invisible. The characters would either have their back to the audience

is not quite good enough. Rita wants to be of a higher status than her

One of the main reasons that the original ending is better than the published ending is that the original seems to flow better with the overall themes of the novel. One of the major themes that is seen throughout the book is the theme of how growing up is an universal experience where one finds out who they

Educating Rita is the tale of one working class women 's struggle to find an escape to a boring, repetitive life and to find new things to conquer. To acheive this she begins university on a literature course despite the discouragement from family and baby-obsessed husband Denny. The play features only two characters, Rita and Frank. Frank- a middle class, well-educated, eloquent professor and Rita, an abrupt, crude excuse for a lady with no regard for or more precise, no knowing of social nouce. Throughout the play Rita 's character must reach two social extremities before she can learn to be true to herself. Arriving in Frank 's office loud and sarcastic

Rita is a woman who is longing for change. Change is an inevitable concept during adult development that is influenced by different factors, such as age, culture, and certain life events. Rita comes from a working class society and has been

The Effect of Summer School on Rita in Educating Rita by Willy Russell 'Of course; you don't do Blake without doing innocence and experience, do y?' When Frank explains to Rita that after summer school they will study William Blake, Rita says that she has already studied Blake and implies in such a way that she almost disgraces Frank. Before summer school Rita has only been taught Frank and has only learnt his ideas, when she gains her own confidence she then challenges Frank on his views to do with poetry by telling him about William Blake. This confidence reflects the effect which summer school ultimately had upon Rita. Willy Russell was born in Whiston, near Liverpool, England, in 1947.
