ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation explores the interaction that takes place during the adaptation of a story as a screenplay and the subsequent translation of the screenplay into a film. The focus falls on two Afrikaans examples, 'n Wêreld sonder grense and Fiela se kind, as well as the British film adaptation of The French lieutenant's woman. As this study is concerned with both literature and film, the relation between both mediums is taken as a starting point. An examination of the "differences" between literature and film proves that the two media are remarkably similar and that dissimilarities are often not differences in kind but in degree.
