Uma análise comparativa entre as obras de Edgar Allan Poe e o filme "The Raven" (2012)

Abstract

This monograph explores the film adaptation of The Raven (2012), investigating how the film engages with the works of Edgar Allan Poe. The analysis seeks to understand the process of transposing and reinterpreting literature into film, highlighting the creative choices involved in this adaptation. To this end, the research adopts a bibliographical approach, drawing on adaptation theories by Julie Sanders, Linda Hutcheon, and Robert Stam, as well as comparative studies by Tânia Franco Carvalhal. The study examines how the film reinterprets Poe’s themes, characters, and stylistic elements, establishing both connections and contrasts between the original work and its cinematic version. The analysis includes short stories such as The Murders in the Rue Morgue and The Tell-Tale Heart, among others, assessing how the director translates these texts into the cinematic language. Ultimately, the research reflects on the effectiveness of the adaptation and its impact on the reception of Poe’s work, considering the balance between fidelity and reinvention in shaping this new narrative.
