Screen adaptations are films or television shows that are based on existing works, such as books, plays, or comics. These adaptations aim to bring the original story to a new medium, often reinterpreting characters and themes to fit the visual format. Popular examples include adaptations of classic novels like Pride and Prejudice and The Great Gatsby. The process of adapting a story involves various creative decisions, including changes to dialogue, plot structure, and character development. While some adaptations remain faithful to the source material, others take creative liberties to enhance the narrative for a cinematic audience. This can lead to both praise and criticism from fans of the original work.
