literature adaptation

Literature adaptation is the process of transforming written works, like novels, plays, or short stories, into other formats, such as films, television shows, or stage productions. This involves interpreting the original material, capturing its themes and characters, and reimagining it for a different audience or medium. While adaptations strive to stay true to the source material, they often make changes to fit the new format, enhance visual storytelling, or appeal to current cultural contexts. Successful adaptations can broaden the audience for the original work and introduce classic stories to new generations.
