The story is about unknown lady used to work as young traveling companion to a wealthy woman called Mrs.Van Hopper, when they are in the hotel she meets Mr. Maxim de Winter and he proposes to her and she accepts. Furthermore, he is the owner of Manderly and there she meets the sinister Mrs. Danvers, she was Rebecca’s devoted housekeeper additionaly Rebecca is Maxim’s first wife but she dies. So, they have to investigate who killed Rebecca and how she was killed. Then it turns out that Rebecca dies of cancer, and Mrs. Danvers has disappears and burns herself in Manderly.

forget the deaths of his first wife Rebecca and he cannot forget the mystery of her deaths. Secondly, the costume party scene in both the novel and the movie is the same. In the novel, we can read that Mrs. De Winter asks her husband for costume party and he accepts it as well as the movie. Moreover, the novel and the movie show that Mrs. Danvers chooses the dress for Mrs. de Winter that Rebecca wears in the past which let Mr. de Winter losses his temper. Lastly, both the novel and the movie have the same scene of investigating Rebecca’s death, therefore the character colonel Julian appears in both of the novel and movie to investigate the death of Rebecca but in the worst-case-scenario shows that Rebecca dies of cancer. There are three most attention-grabbing differences. Firstly, Mrs. Danvers’s ending scene is different between the novel and the movie: in the novel we read that Mrs. Danvers leaves Manderly. Whereas, in the movie she burns Manderly and she is buried under the ruined house. Secondly, Maxim de Winter does not commit suicide. In the beginning of the movie, he tries to commit suicide and there where Mrs. de Winter meets him, while in the novel we cannot find the suicide scene. In the novel they meet in the hotel restaurant. Finally, the novel shows that Mrs. Danvers is much emotional than the movie. The movie shows that Mrs. Danvers is a sinister and much more harmful. Though, the novel does not mention that Mrs. Danvers is harmful or sinister. While, in the movie she tries to convince Mrs. de Winter to commit suicide. Therefor there are a lot of differences are mention in the novel and the movie. In comparison between reading the novel and watching the movie of Rebecca there are a lot of similarities and differences that I have noticed in between.
There are three obvious similarities. First, Maxim de Winter is tortured by the past. The second similarity is the costume party scene. The last similarity is the investigation scene. Additionally, there are three major differences: Mrs. Danvers’s ending, Maxim de Winter’s trying to commit suicide, and Mrs. Danvers’s personality and emotions. In the end, do not let jealousy fool you and do not let hate blind your eyes lest you cannot control your feelings, attitude, and behavior so you will do things that you will regret about in the future. In my opinion, the movie is more interesting than the novel additionally the movie has more interesting scenes than the

There are few similarities between the book and the movie. Usually most movies are similar to
For example, Mama goes to the bank in the movie and is given a hard time about paying her mortgage, but this did not happen in the book. Another major difference is that the school bus scene, where the Logan kids played a trick on the white kids, was not shown in the movie, even though it was an important part of the story. There are some character changes as well. Lillian Jean, Jeremy, R.W, and Melvin are Simms’ in the book, but in the movie they are Kaleb Wallace’s children. However, the main plot difference is how the movie starts in the middle, summarizing everything from the first part of the book very briefly. Additionally, many scenes are switched around and placed out of order. Altogether, the plot and character changes contribute to my unfavorable impression of the
There are many differences in the movie that were not in the book. In the movie there is a new character in the movie that was not in the book. This character was David Isay.
While watching the movie, I could see that the main characters in the book, both their names and traits, were the same in both the movie and book. However, aside from that there were many different as...
The movie and the story had some of the same characters but some weren't exactly the same. The movie introduced many different characters and changed some of the others. For example, the movie had the plant lady and had the mentor of Anderton as the founders of Precrime while in the book, Anderton was the only founder of Precrime. Also, Witwer wasn't blond he had black hair and Kapler wasn't named Kapler he was named Crow. In the story they had the red head Fleming who did not exist

In conclusion, details involving the characters and symbolic meanings to objects are the factors that make the novel better than the movie. Leaving out aspects of the novel limits the viewer’s appreciation for the story. One may favor the film over the novel or vice versa, but that person will not overlook the intense work that went into the making of both. The film and novel have their similarities and differences, but both effectively communicate their meaning to the public.
There are many examples in both movie and book that compare and contrast to each other. I felt that the book and movie portrayed characters differently. The main character of the book was Jon Krakauer, the book told about the way he felt about people and his struggles and toils. In the movie I felt
When you get to the beginning, middle, or end u realize they are both very different. The movie and book have a lot in common like they both have the same characters .
Overall, the movie and book have many differences and similarities, some more important than others. The story still is clear without many scenes from the book, but the movie would have more thought in it.
There are many similarities presented to the audience between the movie and the novel. One
For all the differences the film had from the novel, it was basically the same story just told in a more cheerful way and was more about the Joad family. However, the differences did not take away from the film; they might have made the film even better. No matter how different the film was from the novel, they both have succeeded in their own respective fields and remain classics to this
The similarities are quite apparent, the movie plot mainly follows the basic plot that the book took, leaving the viewer’s with a sense of accomplishment, as this is sometimes not achieved in the highest degree. Scout still has a brother, Jem. They both still meet Dill and have a few adventures with him throughout the film. Jem and Scout still have a single father, Atticus, having lost their mother many years ago. Calpunia is still their cook. And the whole story still has an overpowering sense of focusing on two main stories, Boo Radley (Arthur Radley) and Tom Robinson’s trial.
In conclusion, there are notable differences and similarities between the book, and movie Frankenstein. The differences start with the education of the monster, the plot, the ending of the story, and the characteristics of the monster. The similarities dealing with the creation of the monster, and the turning point of the story. The differences and similarities preserve the genre themes, and the main points in both the story and the movie.
After having read the play and seen the movie I am struck by a number of differences. Seemingly subtle, many small details have a great impact on how the story can and is being perceived. The movie offers much more background information on other characters and events that are important to the story.
