Tess of the D\u27Urbervilles: A Comparison of the Novel and the Film

V procesu snemanja filma po predlogi romana lahko med njima nastane precej razlik. Nekateri deli romana, na primer vsebina in liki, so v filmu spremenjeni, okrnjeni ali dodani. Osrednji cilj diplomskega dela je bilo iskanje in analiziranje razlik in podobnosti med knjižno predlogo in filmom, zlasti v zvezi z vsebino in s predstavitvijo likov, okolja, ter učinek teh podobnosti in razlik na kakovost filmske priredbe Hardyjevega romana Tess of the D\u27Urbervilles. Diplomsko delo primerja roman z nanizanko v štirih delih, ki jo je režiral David Blair, posnela pa angleška televizijska hiša BBC leta 2008. Ugotovljene razlike in podobnosti ne vplivajo na kakovost filmske priredbe in relativno zvesto podajajo vsebino romana v drugačni, filmski obliki. Glede na to, da ima nanizanka štiri dele, od katerih vsak traja eno uro, ima filmska priredba dovolj časa, da zajame velik del vsebine iz romana. Liki iz romana so primerno zastopani, najbolj od vsega pa navdušuje pokrajina, ki pokaže veliko lepot angleškega podeželja.During the process of making a film based on a novel, many changes appear. Parts of the novel, like characters and subplots, are sometimes changed, subtracted or added. The main goal of this diploma paper was to find and analyze the differences and similarities which occur in the film, especially regarding plot, representation of characters, environment and their effect on the quality of the film adaptation of Thomas Hardy\u27s novel Tess of the D\u27Urbervilles. In the diploma paper the novel is compared with a four parts mini series, directed by David Blair, produced by BBC in 2008. The established differences and similarities do not affect the quality of the adaptation and the film relatively faithfully transfers the story in a different form – the film. Regarding the fact, that the film has four parts, each lasting an hour, the film adaptation has enough time to capture a large part of the story. The characters of the novel are appropriately represented and the most impressing element of the film is the landscape, showing the beautiful English countryside
