AB This dissertation aims to analyse three important narrative elements for cinematic adaptations: the narrator, the focalization, and the analepsis. In order to achieve that, I conducted a comparative analysis between two cinematic adaptations of The Great Gatsby. The two films chosen were: Jack Clayton’s 1974 version and Baz Luhrmann’s production of 2013. For the analysis, I conveyed a close reading of Fitzgerald’s novel, focusing on three aspects to later compare how they were portrayed in both films. The first aspect is the homodiegetic narrator, concentrating on the impact of Nick’s presence or absence as narrator. The second aspect is the focalization on Gatsby by the narrator of the story. The last aspect is the role of the analepses, showing how they can help or confuse the viewer when interpreting the storyline. To conclude, the comparative analysis shows how differently the same story can be adapted depending on the director’s choice.
