Question

What is literary adaptation?

changing one element of a story

telling a story to a different audience

telling a story in different way

Answer 1

"telling a story in different way"

A literary adaptation reshapes an existing story (for example a novel into a film, play, or modernized retelling), preserving core elements while changing form, style, or presentation — not simply changing one element, lengthening it, or only changing the audience.
