| Abstract: | Thomas Hardy’s Far from the Madding Crowd (1874) has been adapted into film multiple times, with notable versions directed by John Schlesinger (1967), Nicholas Renton (1998), and Thomas Vinterberg (2015). This thesis explores how these adaptations portray the intimacy between the two protagonists, Bathsheba Everdene and Gabriel Oak, focusing on the visual and narrative techniques that have been used to develop their relationship.
By analysing a selection of key scenes from each adaptation, the thesis investigates the use of close-ups, camera angles, and dialogue features to convey the growing intimacy between Bathsheba and Gabriel, examining how these techniques reflect power dynamics and interact with physical closeness. Additionally, it considers how portraying intimacy differs across adaptations. The 1967 and 1998 films seem to use power dynamics more prominently through camera angles, while the 2015 adaptation foregrounds physical intimacy and humour. The findings show that each film emphasizes various aspects of the protagonists' relationship; the 1967 version focuses more on Bathsheba and Troy's connection, while the 1998 and 2015 films highlight the bond between Bathsheba and Gabriel.
Finally, this thesis contributes to the study of film adaptations of classic literature by offering a detailed comparison of the representation of intimacy across three distinct cinematic interpretations of Hardy’s novel. |
