Watch Dover Kosashvili’s 2010 film The Duel (it’s here on Youtube -> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5w9tTtZjqkw, though probably better quality if you’ve got Amazon Prime). Compare the adaptation to Chekhov’s source material (the novella) and make an argument: do you find the 2010 film successfully adapts Chekhov’s novella? Narrow it down to 1 elements\/scenes\/themes\/character (arcs) you want to compare across the mediums, then write about that specific thing in the book and in the film and draw an interpretive conclusion — was this creative choice appropriate, was this a justified difference, or did this miss the point of the text, in your opinion? And of course explain why. The ‘why’ should be in your thesis. <\/p>\n

1. First, illustrate or describe the difference (that is, concisely depict the film scene in 1-2 sentences, and then give a short quotation and interpretation of the Chekhov text which differs from it). This can be your first paragraph. Some summary is permitted here but not much — the focus should be on which specific difference you will analyze.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
2. Then provide some insight or analysis on how this difference leads to a different interpretation of the story or characters in the film — as opposed to the text. In other words, what effect does this difference have on the story? This is the main thrust of the paper and you should dedicate at least a page to this. Focus and cut out all extra words–that means yes, you must reread and revise.\n<\/div>\n
You do not need to use any outside texts, only the Chekhov novel the duel we read for class and the 2010 film.<\/p>\n

Please use specific examples from the text, cite the pages, and explain the quote. Along with this, please use specifc scenes from the movie (Ex: random example here (Minutes 13-20)). <\/p><\/div>\n
