Summary/Abstract: Although literature often feeds into cinema in terms of subject matter, at times the relationship between literature and cinema is closely intertwined to such an extent that cinema almost serves as a reminder of the literary work.Thus, most people first encounter the story through adaptations today but not necessarily through original literary work. Some members of audience would not know the work at all while others do but are unable to allocate time to read. When these adaptation films have a greater effect, they would feed the curiosity and desire of the audience in accessing their book versions. While the level of recognition (familiarity) of the literary work is fading beside the film, the reading practices of the old are also replaced by the new.
