    In today’s society, majority of people would watch a film rather than read a novel. ‘Adaptation is, perhaps, the result of an increasingly post-literate world in which the visual image dominates’ (Cartmell 145).

    The Greater Great Gatsby The book the Great Gatsby has been depicted by lots of films, but the two that stand out the most are the 1974 and the 2013 versions.
