Abstract

Nowadays students prefer watching movie versions to reading the literary works in paper products. As a literature teacher, we can make the full use of this situation to arouse students’ interests in learning literature and attract them to go back to read the original literary texts if they want to know more details or the difference between movies and the texts. In this paper, an example is provided for teachers to imitate by choosing Charles Dickens’ “Great Expectations” and the adapted movie version in 2012 to compare in order to show their differences in characters and plots, As a result, the author of this paper hopes this way of teaching literature can arouse students’ interests in learning literature and attract them to go back to read the original literary texts.
