Characters in an interpretation are often very similar to those described in the initial piece. However, these characters also differ due to the initiative to appeal to a new audience. In the film interpretation of Homer’s The Odyssey, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, the characters Tiresias, the Lotus Eaters, and the Sirens/Circe can be compared to the rail car prophet, the Christians being baptized, and the ladies in the creek. First, the prophet steering the rail car is an interpretation of The Odyssey’s Tiresias; furthermore, this presents both similarities and differences to the original character in the aspects of the characters’ state of being, introduction to the hero, and advice. In Homer’s work, Odysseus, the hero and main character, has to find Tiresias in the underworld where he “crouched with my drawn sword to keep the surging phantoms from the bloody pit till I should know the presence of Tiresias” (Homer 1126), while the film’s prophet is found

The “valley of ashes” Is described to be a desolate and forsaken undeveloped land that marks the intersection of the city with the suburbs as it is said to be where “ashes grow like wheat into the ridges and hills and
As we undergo experiences throughout life and gain knowledge, we recognise that our own perspectives can often be centred around assumptions that we have and by broadening our understanding, we are able to erode our initial perspectives. In the film, Looking For Alibrandi, and also in a short story entitled Flowers by Alice Walker, the protagonists both have initial perspectives about people, the society that surrounds them and the world in which they live, and find themselves bearing experiences and acquiring understanding to alter their perspectives. An abrupt catalyst for an alteration of a perspective forces us to shed some of the assumptions that lead us to hold our initial perspective. In the film, Looking for Alibrandi, the protagonist,

The distinctively visual is used throughout peter goldsworthys novel ' maestro ' and the painting By edward munch ' the scream ' 1893. there is some overlap between the distinctively visual techniques used by these writers and painters.

The extended metaphor of peter goldsworthy “to describe the world is always to simplify its texture, to coarsen the weave: to lose the particular in general”, portrays that once you try to represent something, you lose something of its real life essence and that the act of writing about something in the world simplifies it. Both texts revel important insights into human experiences by showing the reader how the character
