Abstract

Debate about Literature being better than Literary Adaptation and vice versa has been prevalent since ages. Jhumpa Lahiri’s novel The Namesake was adapted into a film and interestingly, both the novel and the film received quite a lot of appreciation. Studying the narrative of a novel and a movie based on that novel makes it for an interesting read. Gerald Genette and Roland Barthes are two narratologists who have come up with theories which provide us with tools in order to analyze any work. The narratological analysis of these works helps the meaning to come to the fore.
