Answer to Question 1

Faithful adaptations, as the phrase implies, attempt to re-create the literary
source in filmic terms, keeping as close to the spirit of the original as possible. Literal
adaptations are usually restricted to plays. (

Answer to Question 2

figurative technique can be defined as an artistic device that suggests abstract
ideas through comparison, either implied or overt. There are a number of these
techniques in both literature and cinema. The most common are motifs, symbols, and
metaphors, with two other types, allegory and allusions. A motif can be a technique, an object, or anything that's systematically repeated in a movie yet doesn't call attention to
itself.
