Sommario
This article deals with a comparison between Matilde Serao’s short story “Checchina’s Virtue” (Serao, M. (1995) (1884): La virtù di Checchina. Edizioni e/o, Roma.) and the homonymous unpublished theatrical script written by Massimo Franciosa (Serao, M. (1995) (1884): La virtù di Checchina. Edizioni e/o, Roma.), of which a summary is provided. The comparison between the source text and the adaptation draws on the debate about the narrativity of drama in which many scholars have engaged in the last decades: Richardson, B. (1987): “Time is out of joint”: Narrative Models and the Temporality of the Drama. Poetics Today, 8, 2, pp. 299–309. , Chatman, S. (1990): Coming to terms. The Rhetoric of Narrative in Fiction and Film. Cornell Univesity Press, Ithaca and London., Jahn, M. (2001): Narrative Voice and Agency in Drama: Aspects of a Narratology of Drama. New Literary History, 321, pp. 659–679. , (2008): Narrative and Drama, in: J. Pier & J. Á. García Landa (eds.). Theorizing Narrativity. De Gruyter, Berlin, pp. 353–381. and Nünning, Ansgar & Roy Sommer. (2008): Diegetic and Mimetic Narrativity: Some Further Steps towards a Narratology of Drama, in: J. Pier & J. Á. García Landa (eds.): Theorizing Narrativity. De Gruyter, Berlin, pp. 329–352. . The analysis focuses on two forms of diegetic narrativity that appear in the short story, i. e. free indirect discourse and the iterative mode, in order to see how the theatrical script deals with them. The analysis shows that the script preserves the narrative contents of the source text and highlights how diegetic and mimetic narrativity collaborate to the reworking and redistribution of those contents.
