Reading James Joyce’s “The Dead” and viewing the film adaptation directed by John Huston has sparked many questions. In general, the film adaptation follows the plot of the short story closely; it brings to life the characters very well by utilizing visuals, music, lighting, and performance to represent what is being said in between lines of dialogue in the text. The movie, understandably, had to be shortened up slightly to fit the time slot, as a result, some smaller scenes in the story were deleted from the movie or condensed with other scenes. However, by doing this, it raises some curiosities as to why. Some characters roles were made larger and some had less of an impact when adapted to the screen.

The movie only focuses on the story of the Andrea Gail and the men from Gloucester. I think the overall story is better off this way. For example, I think if the book was written like this, the reader would become more connected to the characters and the book. The reader would go through the same emotions and feelings as the characters because they experienced the same event simultaneously. All in all, I think the book has a great story, but lacks a proper structure for the story at hand.
