The Fox: D. H. Lawrence’s Short Novel in Mark Rider’s Film / The Fox: A Novela de D. H. Lawrence no Filme de Mark Rider
Abstract
This paper has as one the main objectives to investigate the particular reading of the modern short novel The Fox (1976), by the English writer D. H. Lawrence in Mark Rydell’s film, analyzing the theme of completeness, its rewriting on screen through the characters’ love affair, and its fit into the parameters of the cinematographic system, with a new narrative configuration closer to the social and cultural discursive claims of the reception context. As theoretical background, we have taken into consideration ideas on literature and film adaptation in Cattrysse (2014) and Lefevere (1992), as well as some criticism on Lawrence’s work in Janaki and Sumathi (2019), and Greiff (2001).
Keywords: D. H. Lawrence. Adaptation. Narrative. Short novel.
RESUMO
Este artigo tem como um dos principais objetivos investigar a leitura particular da novela moderna The Fox (1976), do escritor inglês D. H. Lawrence, no filme de Mark Rydell, analisando o tema da busca de plenitude, sua reescrita na tela por meio do relacionamento afetivo entre as personagens, seu enquadramento nos parâmetros do sistema cinematográfico, com nova configuração narrativa, mais alinhada às demandas discursivas sociais e culturais do contexto receptor. Como fundamentação teórica, levamos em consideração as ideias sobre literatura e adaptação de Cattrysse (2014) e Lefevere (1992), bem como a crítica sobre a obra de Lawrence por Janaki e Sumathi (2019), e Greiff (2001).
