Another example comes from Bel and the Dragon, which is from the Apocrypha and considered the fourteenth chapter of Daniel. Here, Daniel meet with King Astyages, who was king of the Babylonians. At this time the Babylonians started worshiping an idol called Bel. In verse seven, Daniel smiled, and said, O king, be not deceived: for this is but clay within, and brass without, and did never eat or drink anything. Daniel was instilling doubt within King Astyages court. The king then called for the priests of Bel to prove otherwise. Eventually the priests told the king to prepare the table and then seal the door with the king’s signet (verse eleven). Before the king sealed the door, Daniel had his servants spread ashes throughout the temple, in the presence of the king alone. Verse fifteen then says, “Now in the night came the priests with their wives and children, as they were wont to do, and did eat and drink up all.” In the morning, the king opened the door and exclaimed when he saw that food and wine was gone, but Daniel laughed. Daniel told the king to look at the pavement, at which point the king saw the footprints of men, women and children. This angered the king and the priest showed the king the secret door they had used to enter. The king then had the priests, their wives and …show more content…

In verse three, the Lord commanded Saul to go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. Saul and the Israelites decided to spare Agag the king of the Amalekites and the best sheep, oxen, lambs and anything that was deemed good.

Audrey McAleer Professor Styrt ENGL 240: Introduction to Film & Fiction 19 February 2023 Comparative Adaptation Essay After engaging with William Shakespeare’s Hamlet and its subsequent film adaptations, I am interested in analyzing Act 1 Scene 5. During this scene of the original play, the supposed spirit of Hamlet’s father reappears and obliges Hamlet to seek revenge without any further explanation. At this point, the ghost specifically advises Hamlet to execute his plan for making things “right,” and similarly, this motif is seen in both of Hamlet’s adaptations. Diving deeper into the play, I will consider how the treatment of Brangh’s film and The Lion King draw connections to this scene in the original text.

Compared to Shakespeare's Hamlet, Disney's 1994 adaption into The Lion King was meant for a different audience and has a simplified and cutesy version of the problems that are seen in Hamlet. The intent was because Disney wanted to make a profit, and why not turn a classic like Shakespeare's Hamlet into capitalistic gain? Disney kept the vaguest, simplest plot of Hamlet, but nearly everything else was changed in order to accommodate the change in audience. The director chose to keep a skeleton of the major plot points while changing nearly everything about the play that was descriptive or filler. This was done in order to adapt the play into more of a child-friendly version.

The films both feature women who have been taken advantage of, mostly by men and have decided to stand up for themselves and end the mistreatment. Given that both films were directed by the same person, they feature many of the same technical components, such as the use of a static camera throughout the films (Dargis, 2014). Although, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a remake of a Swedish film it still features the same elements that make Lisbeth Salander, played by Rooney Mara, an admired but also slightly feared character.
