Abstract


This research aims to find some ideologies in the adaptation of a novel into a film that uses qualitative research methods and comparative methods. These ideologies lead us to find out the motive beyond the adaptation work. So, this research discusses two objects. The first object is how the transformations of The Lightning Thief adaptation (from novel to film) are. The second object is the motive beyond the adaptation of The Lightning Thief from a book into a film. This research uses Linda Hutchon’s theory of adaptation as a basis of theory, Roland Barthes’ Mythologies, and the theory film of mise-en-scene as the method to find out the ideology from both the novel and film. The results show some transformations of the ideologies from the book into a film. The novel brings the emergence of feminism, the motherhood role, collectivism, fantasy as the uniqueness of the story, and cultural universality. While the film changes into the emergence of patriarchal ideology, the fatherhood role, individualism, competitiveness, and freedom of American values. These results show three motives of adaptation: cultural capital, personal motive, and economic lures.
