  1. 1) Yes, it is the same story, the facts in the video are in the book, but you don`t feel the same mystery as f you were reading the book.
    2) I would change all the representations, because the characters in the book are not the fun kind, they are all serious men.
    3)It was the period that Queen Victoria reigned the UK.

  2. 1)The video only analize the main facts that happen during the history but it doesn't care about the metaphors that appear in the book, about the discution between evil or good. The video is comic and it forgets about the suspence and darkness history of Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
    2)I think that for a plot video is okey to do fun characters because it makes you to be concentred on expressions and it's more interesting to pay attention to facts, it's more relax.
    3)During Queen Victoria period in UK the people form high society used to dress elegant clothes and they moved in carriageds. They also had lot of servants That's reflected on the book and on the video.

  3. 1)Yes, the plot is described in the video similar to what i have read. There are some differences because of the way in wich is narrated, another difference is that the video is a summary of the story so there isn't everything.
    2)They are very funny and bizarre. I don't like them because i had imagined them very different especially Dr Hyde, who was so much more evil looking than the one who is in the video. I would change them all, i would like them to be more serious because i prefere a dark and dramatic version.
    3)It was the period of Queen Victoria's reign (1837-1901). It was a period of prosperity. It finished with her death on 22 January 1901.

  5. 1)yes, it's similar, but it have some diferences: in the video the characters are funnier than the descriptions of them in the book. the scenes in the video are lighter than I though they were when I read the book. in the video mr Hyde steps at the girl in the middle of the street and in the book he steps at her in the corner.
    2)they are depicted very fun and in the book they are more scaring. for example, mr hyde is despicted like a man who scares in the book and he doesn't in the video. and when I read the book I imagined poole taller than he was in the video, but that's only my imagination.
    3)it's the period of time of the queen victoria. it was a good time for british people
