Adaptation Should Not Go Too Far from the Classics In recent years, many classics, especially the Four Great Classical Novels, have been adapted in improper ways. For examples, in a TV series adapted from Journey to the West, Monkey King ridiculously falls in love with an evil spirit. It has gone too far from the original version in which the upright Monkey shows no mercy to any evil spirit. Various reasons account for this phenomenon. Firstly, readers' or audiences' preference plays a critical role. In the era of market economy, where there is demand, there is supply. So many playwrights or directors cater for these people's need. Secondly, some producers want to attract people and make a profit. To curb this phenomenon, I think two measures should be taken. First, it's necessary to change the way people treat classics. An adapted version that goes too far from the original one is not merely disrespect to the author, but also misleads the readers or the audiences. Second, the authority concerned should check and ban TV series, videos or books that spoof classics.
