摘要：The Adaptation of literary text is a significant endeavor that becomes a critical effort at revisiting the classicsin the area of popular culture. In reworking of the classics, the dialogues are enunciated with an alteredscript while the narrative becomes more or less consistent. Cinematic as well as theatrical adaptations haveproved to be an effective media of transposing meaning across historical times and cultures as they assist inreliving the text, making it a more inclusive enquiry. The present research is based on the hypothesiswhether the film adaptation of classic manifests as a parody of the original text or adds a new facet to itstime-tested aura. Further, it revisits the most popular assertion that the reworking of classic in form of itsadaptation has been relegated to a cliquish study by literary professionals rather than for mass consumption.
