Tristana worksheet (film/novel)
This worksheet is used before studying Bunuel's film. Students are asked to draw a picture of the relevant characters based on Galdos's description. The object of the exercise is to show the students how they make the character 'theirs' (e.g. some of their pictures will show a Tristana with long flowing hair, which contradicts Galdos's description) and how the film director will generally use the novel as a 'springboard' for his own personal interpretation of the work. As such, novel and film are independent works.
