Comparison between the movie clip and bookof "King Lear"

The movie clip produces a clearer understanding of what takes place in the plot, by utilizing most of the senses. It illustrates the purpose and/or reasons for characters'actions. In Act1:Scene 1, the proclamation of the love for the father and the distribution of the kingdom is occuring, in the plot. The book, however, appeals to just the sense of sight, (and hearing if read aloud).

In the movie, this act and scene emphasizes how King Lear reacted to each daughter and most notably and importantly, Cordelia. His horror, disbelief and bitter rage are all expressed on his wrinkled face. When compared to the written play the movie ends up being better, more appropriate, in some cases more accurate as it displays the urgency in the character's actions. It also displays the setting and even tone of the play. The script, on the othere hand is vague and does notgive a clear view of the events that taake place; the actions ad expressions of characters are lost on the reading audience.

However, there is a possible disadvantage of the movie clip to the written play. It overlooked a few parts in the script. This occured because the omitted part was insigniificant, or repetitive, or maybe even confusing. It is quite possible that throughout the visual play there will be more omittances, also because to integrate every line may make the movie even longer.
