Often, books are made into movies to allow the reader to connect his reading to a visual image. But there are always many differences in how the reader, the director, and the author of a novel portray different scenes and points. In comparing the novel A Tale Of Two Cities by Charles Dickens to the movie I found many differences. .
Because some important scenes were edited and often left out, the effect of the movie had a lessened impact on the audience. Through the use of Dickens's descriptive detail, a sense of mystery and suspense is portrayed. In the movie, this detail was often eliminated and the mood consequently made less dramatic. In the novel, two separate trials were used to add drama to the plot. After the first trial, there was reason to believe that Darnay was free and could now plan his escape back to England. When he gets rearrested, the reader thinks of how he could be saved once again and of how unjust the way of life was in this time. Dickens's did a good job in accurately showing the horrors of the revolution though events in the novel. When the trials were combined in the movie, this effect is reduced and does not have an impact on the audience at all. He is simply found guilty by the evidence of the letter and imprisoned. .
In the novel, there was a sense of suspense in the purpose of knitting, mud, and others things. In the movie, when Darnay was going to ask for Lucie's hand in marriage, he told Dr. Manette that he was an Evremonde who had renounced his title to live a simple life in England. We did not have to wait until the day if their marriage to see Dr. Manette's reaction to the news or if anything would change because of it. In the novel, the use of mud played a large role in not only setting a mood for the book but also in bringing up the theme of resurrecting someone. This is important because when Dr. Manette was resurrected, it symbolized a major theme in the plot and foreshadows the future events that Darnay will encounter.
