In comparison to the different versions, I would have to say the big differences would be the actions are less clear in the first version compared to the second version. The language is a bit set in country slang. The stories are the same just the second one is simplified.

The draw backs to the first one would be: The language is not exactly clear when they are describing the situations. I had a hard time following the italicized parts. Another draw back would be keeping the characters straight from moving back and forth between the past and the present.

The pros to the first one would be: This is obviously the original so the story originated from this play. It gives us a sense of how the people talked and carried themselves in the day and age.


The Second one was a simpled version and it was easier to understand. Some of the dialect was lost due to a clarification in the language thus losing some of the character in the play. It was easier to follow and I didn't get confused at all.

I think the first one was better for cultural and historical analysis. The dialect and the setting was a direct link to the culture and historical background. In the second one, everything was watered down so they lost these aspects.
