Great expectation Novel vs Film
In 2012, Mike Newell created a film replicating one of Charles demons famous invigorateds Great Expectations. some(prenominal) novel and film both be set in Kent, England and say us through the life of a young commoner named slay. Pip eventually moves to London and has wealth bestowed upon him by an anonymous benef operator. With the money he receives, Pip is able to become a gentle spell.The film was not an efficacious representation of the novel because the omission of certain characters, the haracters are presented differently than they are In the book and the story Is told through dialogue instead of narration. delinquent to the film being so fast and compressed, some of the Characters are remaining out. For example, the character that was missing In the film was a menacing, broad-shouldered, loose-limbed (15. 35) cruel man named Orllck. Dickens uses these types of characters In his novel to set a cruel constitution and to give an unpleasant feeling of threat.The omiss ion of Orllck Is significant because it does not lay off the audience to render PIPs final repentance. This is important because it is when pip realizes his guilt and disloyalty towards his shaft ones, Joe and Biddy. Another instance is when Orlick is interested in Biddy, as a leave alone she becomes frightened, and this leads to his hatred and disgust towards Pip. Orlick began to bully Pip. Without Orlick, viewers are unable to see the characteristics of his cruelty, and the unpleasant feeling, atmosphere that he gives towards people and the protagonist.Another difference between the novel and the film was that some characters are represented differently. Dickens portrays Estella as a cold hearted, unloving and one whose goal is to break others mens police wagon in the novel. She shows no feelings of love towards men and especially not towards Pip. In the film, Holliday Grainger, the one who played Estella poorly presented Estella. For example, when Pip comes back to see Estel la and Miss. Havisham, She speaks to him with look at and love, showing her feelings and affections towards Pip.Another character that was poorly presented in the film was Wemmick. In the novel, Dickens howed his dual temper between his Office and Walworth personality. Although his Walworth personality was shown in the film, his subprogram personality was not. At the offce, he seems to have his loving and kind personality towards others and especially to Pip. These changes make the viewers view Estella and Wemmlcka completely dfferent mien, not the way that Charles Dickenss intended. In the film of Great Expectations, there was no narration.Dickens wrote the novel from the focalize of view of the protagonist Pip. Throughout the novel, Pip usually spends most of his clock expressing his feelings and thoughts through narration. In fact, Newell did not portray fully the details of PIPs love for Estella. In the novel, through the narrations, Pip expresses his feelings and love for Estella and his love for her was the reason why he wanted to become a gentleman, wanting to Impress her. In the film, It seems that Pip only lust over Estella and makes It seems that he Is only attracted to her because of her appearance.Jeremy Irvine, the actor of PIP uses dialogue and ctions to portray Pips feelings and emotions. Although the dialogue and actions help the audience retire about Pips character, viewers are unable to identify the true exchangeable in comparison to Dickens novel. However the omission of certain characters, the way characters are presented, and the narration make the film different enough to illicit a different response from the viewer as opposed to the reader. This difference in response indicates that the film is not an adequate representation of the novel.
