Write an essay exploring the differences between the short story Sansho the Steward,
written by Ogai Mori, and the movie Sansho the Bailiff, directed by Kenji Mizoguchi.
Consider, but do no limit yourself, to these questions:
1. What changes did Mizoguchi make to the short story, and what aspects of the
original story changed as a result of those alterations?
2. Why did you think Mizoguchi made those changes? What was he trying to
emphasize through those alterations that was perhaps not emphasized in the
original story?
3. Did the short story evoke different moods from the movie? Why?
