Summary of the thesis results: The thesis conducted research, surveys, and analyses of the novel Gone with the Wind and the film of the same name from a narrative perspective, examining aspects such as plot, characters, and setting. The findings are as follows: Regarding the plot, the novel's structure is quite simple, without complexity or intricacy; all events unfold logically and are not overly dramatic. However, revolving around these not-so-exciting events, the author has portrayed highly typical characters, representing distinct and unique personalities and viewpoints. Basically, the film closely follows the events of the literary story. However, the filmmakers have omitted and modified some events compared to the literary plot. These omitted and modified details aim to accelerate the characters' actions, ensuring they occur continuously without interruption, and to shorten the film's running time. Regarding the characters: The outstanding success of the novel Gone with the Wind lies in the author's creation and portrayal of a system of characters, from main to supporting, with extremely sharp and vivid personalities, from descriptions of appearance and gestures to dialogue. Overall, the film Gone with the Wind was also very successful in its casting. It can be said that the advantages of cinema were fully exploited by the filmmakers to create vivid and sharp characters. Regarding space: The novel Gone with the Wind recreates space through its linguistic material. The novel is particularly strong in expressing the mental space from the internal perspective of the character Scarlett. Using the same space, the film portrays it through consecutive shots and framing, creating a direct presence of space—an artistic image. 11. Practical application: Opens up a new avenue for research when studying the novel and its film adaptation: research from a narrative perspective. 12. Future research directions: None 13. Published works related to the thesis: None
