compare and contrast two versions of the tale, from two different forms of media (compare a story with a film). one of the story has to be ‘beauty and the beast’ by madame leprince de beaumont and you can choose any film to relate to it.
How do they present the tale similarly? Differently?
Do they look the same?
Do they set the story in the same kind of world, time period, or place? What is important about the changes they make?
How does the medium affect the way they tell the story? (What can you do in a film that you cannot do in a written story, for instance, and vice versa?)
Perhaps most importantly, what do you learn about the tale when you consider these two adaptations together? How does comparing them change or add to their meaning?
