The adaptation exemplifies not a destruction or abuse of Amy Tan's novel, but the emergence of a new work of art, not hindered but enhanced by the strengths of its literary precursor. Incorporating her family's own experiences as Chinese immigrants to the
worshipped instead. I haven't yet come to Lady Byron, but I suppose, instead of laughing, she merely disapproved. And so he became Byronic.”(3) She says she is “much impressed at the badness of Byron’s poetry”. John Murray described him as being “Wild, audacious, rebellious, half mad by nature; a creature made to tempt and to be tempted, to seduce and to fall, about whom there was but one certainty, that he was irreclaimable.” As you can see the opinions are endless on this truly unique character
