Personagem adaptada em 'A cantiga dos pássaros e das serpentes': a jornada de Coriolanus Snow

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the character Coriolanus Snow and his development in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes in the novel by Suzanne Collins (2020) and in its movie adaptation directed by Francis Lawrence (2023). To support the analysis, the research deals with theories by authors that discuss the correlations between distinct kinds of medias and arts, and more specifically about book to movie adaptations, such as Linda Hutcheon (2011), Robert Stam (2008) and João Batista de Brito (2006). The study also discusses the ideas about the development of character both in literature and cinema based on theories by Antonio Candido (2009), Anatol Rosenfeld (2009), Paulo Emílio Salles Gomes (2009), Robert Scholes, James Phelan and Robert Kellogg (2006). Another topic important to this discussion is the role of the narrator and the point of view that is chosen to tell the story in the developing the character and how it is applied to literature and to cinema, according to the resources available in each kind of media and to elaborate this concept in relation to the works analyzed in this research, we selected texts by Gérard Genette (1995) and Norman Friedman (2002). The main goal of this study is to understand the similarities and differences between the Coriolanus Snow present on the pages and on the screen.
