Author's Note

My completed film adaptation proposal was a first round draft, but the careful consideration that led up to this final "thought" was a arduous one. I feel like there was a well rounded use of all of the ideas that could be injected into the film version of such a short story, but I will admit, there could have been a greater amount of content. With that same concern, ironically, there could have bee an enormous amount of content left out.

One angle I wished to have addressed would be who could produce the film. I know that projecting a collage of ideas and scribing a stream of consciousness in the way I did for this paper can be a bit convoluted at times and may not completely capture the film in its fullest. The film version of "Story of an Hour," could rest strongly on who produces and directs the film. Overall, I really enjoyed constructing this piece and I feel that the content and structure were solidly rooted on a good foundation of the story. I am confident that I did not stray too far from the intended theme, and I think the paper maintained the overall thrust of the short story and spoke loudly and clearly enough to the reader to paint a fair and persuading mental image.

What I liked most about writing this paper was really delving into the mind of Mrs. Mallard. I enjoyed trying to present the dark side of this story in a way that was persuasive to readers. I feel that I presented the darkness of this plot in a way that left us as readers in a guilt-free state for empathizing with the proposed main character.

The major questions that I have concerning this paper is if I should have ventured deeper into the roles for the supporting actors, and if so, does not doing so cripple the piece? Also, concerning the format of the paper, I found the introduction and conclusion to be the most vague and did they clearly express the intended content?
