You can see what the characters look like in a play and their characteristics better than you would would in a story as…

The stage directions in a play gives the reader an insight on the actions taken among a character.…
In “The Landlady”, Billy Weaver is lured into a seemingly normal bed and breakfast by an old lady who, despite her gentle and unthreatening appearance, wants to kill him. It is a story about how those with cruel intent may take advantage of those who are innocent and naive. Although the book and the movie can be arguably similar if generalized, there are many differences that may change the way a reader/viewer may grasp the concept of the story. Since a movie and book cannot be exactly the same, the film version is bound to have things that differ from the text. One example of how the book develops the development of the story is with the setting.…

On the other hand the Bookseller plays a bigger role in the novel than within the play.…
