Adaptations

An adaptation can be anything from a book based on a movie or the retelling of a classic tale. It is when a story is adapted from another story form or source. Not merely a remake in all cases, some stories are only loosely adapted from original sources or legends.

When we love something, we always want more of it, whether it’s good for us or not. This is as true of ice cream and French fries as it is of great books. It’s only natural to wish for more time with our favorite characters, but an essential part of what makes us fall in love with a book is the fact that it ends (something it wouldn’t hurt to remind the heads of Hollywood studios). When there can be no more of something, it makes what already exists more precious and perfect.
Emily Uecker

Adaptation is repetition, but repetition without replication.
Linda Hutcheon, A Theory of Adaptation
