The movie version of Linda was just completely different than I had pictured her. While in the book I felt bad for Linda when Willy kept telling her to “shut up” or “be quiet”, in the movie I didn’t blame him for cursing her loud interruptions. This deep voice and shouting tone really made her seem completely different from how I had perceived her in the book.įor instance when she made the comment “Willy, go eat your cheese,” I envisioned a soothing wife trying to help her husband calm him down in the book, whereas in the movie it seemed more like she was giving orders with her deep and shouting voice. She had a pretty deep voice in the movie, and usually seemed to shout when she was talking. However, while watching the movie she seemed much louder and less sweet than I envisioned her. A lady that was very humble and usually kept quiet for the most part.

While reading the book I pictured Linda as being this sweet old lady. Linda was not at all how I had imagined her to be. The major difference I noticed was the way I pictured Linda and the way she was portrayed in the movie. There were small differences, and since they are just about word for word from one another, the differences were usually just differences in the way one interpreted the book and envisioned the characters.
