It is obvious that a novel is one medium and a movie based on the novel is another, but images on the screen from the filmed version can help those brought up in a TV-saturated world connect with the world of the novel. They can help such viewers imagine the world of the novel when it would otherwise be difficult for them to do so. On the other hand it often happens that the images are quite different from the original, and it sometimes occurs that only part of the story can be transferred to the movie version. Such differences, which are usually criticized as misinterpretations, can be clues to other valid interpretation of the novel. The different interpretations in the films can give readers a bridge to other possibilities of interpretation. The gap between the film and the novel enables viewers and readers to discover inevitably not only what the novel means to convey but what the movie is designed to do. This research deals with how the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's provides an incentive to read the original novel closely. Though the film is considerably different from the book, this different interpretation is incorporated in a questionnaire designed to aid comprehension. This paper will look at what questions are effective in increasing understanding of the novel.
