This episode breaks the typical structure of the show, despite coming so early in the show. Unlike other examples of these kinds of moments, Injured does not come with massive character development. Nor does it exist in order to break up monotony. Rather, Injured exists to give breath to the characters, to explore them rather than develop them. In this essay, I'm exploring two of the primary themes of New Girl more enerally, as well as how this special episode explores the characters of Jess and Nick.ArticleFebruary 17Public 0 0 Frankenstein, Adaptation, and Dis/AbilityThis particular newsletter is a reflection and review of my most recent video essay: Frankenstein and the Art of Adaptation.

Today, I want to talk about the nature of changing narratives. Adaptation to new media forms require an understanding of these forms, and a necessary alteration of the narratives to fit. Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein provides the perfect case study for us to chat about the nature of narrative transformation, and the question of what makes the most "faithful" adaptation.ImageJanuary 19Public 0 0 Join to unlock Share Gift LockedNo public preview was captured for this post.Article18d ago£1 tier & up 0 0
