Abstract
The thesis is concerned with adaptation theory, mainly focusing on its definition and classification as well as its reputation within the literary and film criticism. The typology of adaptation utilised in the thesis is Kamilla Elliott’s classification of six distinct types of adaptation, and it is applied onto specific examples of adaptation; namely, the comparison is drawn between Henry James’s novella The Turn of the Screw (1898) and its adaptation The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020) created by Mike Flanagan. The aim of such comparison is to suggest that The Haunting of Bly Manor is a ventriloquist adaptation of The Turn of the Screw. The analysis is provided through the comparison of specific narratological elements, that is, the narrator, characters, and time sequence in order to examine how they contribute to the ventriloquist type of adaptation. Also, the paper examines specific elements of a ghost story both in the source text and in its adaptation, such elements being: uncertainty and lack of knowledge, the past mistakes or crimes haunting their perpetrator, the interwoven framework, and the element of revenge. Whereas James’s novella is a ghost story belonging to the Gothic horror genre, Flanagan’s adaptation introduces elements of romance non-existent in the source text.
