Virgin Suicides
THE VIRGIN SUICIDES
1.) The novel and movie had no differences. Everything portrayed in the
movie was exactly the same as the novel, the characters said the same
lines, the scenes were in sequence order, and the both settings were
correct.
2.) The theme for both the novel and movie is that being too strict with
your children may cause them to commit suicide. Mrs. Lisbon did not
treat her daughters like normal teenagers, she deprived them of many
things such as: going to school functions, having friends, dating boys
and normal things a teenager should be allowed to do. She became very
strict with the girls that she pulled them out of school and kept them
locked up at home as if they were prisoners in jail. The girls had already
lost one sister and them being cooped up in the house drove them crazy
and they ended up committing suicide.
3.) I enjoyed reading the novel best because it was very detailed and I could
just invision the characters and all the minor details in my head. Books
always describe everything to the fullest, even a minor detail can be
described very well.
