In this eleven-page undergraduate paper, the author compares the horror films Dracula, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and Frankenstein with the novels upon which they were based. He notes that a movie is an interpretation of a book, and that at times the interpretation takes such liberties that a total recreation or translation takes place. He also observes that films differ from the novels they are based upon because of different target audiences. This factor can lead to plot adjustments, thematic changes, and the display of greater or lesser sympathy for the protagonist, depending upon the director’s intentions.
