Abstract
By classifying translation into three types of intralingual, interlingual and intersémiotique, Jakobson considers adaptation as a type of intersemiotic translation. Eco also considers intersemiotic translation to be an example of interpretation which means that the adaptor, as an experimental reader, transforms what he felt in the novel into the images, so he becomes a kind of interpreter. Therefore, the adapter is a kind of interpreter who, based on his lived experience, converts the meaning received from the novel into the images in the film. Although; intersemiotic translation can be considered a type of interpretation. The purpose of this article is to examine the intersemiotic translation of the characters of the novel "Crime and Punishment" (Dostoevsky, 1866), as one of the most frequently adapted stories in cinema, and the Iranian film "Pole Khab" (Barahani, 2014) in the aspect of the characters and actors of both works, to show the critical interpretation of the adapter from the source of the adaptation. For the first time, Victor Derély translated the novel "Crime and Punishment" from Russian to French in 1884, and since then the novel has been the subject of numerous French literary criticisms in terms of structure and content.The main issue of this research includes examining the changes formed from one continuum (novel) to another continuum (film), the adaptive critical view of the previous text and the social context of the new story- purely in terms of personality traits. The comparison of the character traits of the characters, the metamorphosis of the main character and the study of the stages of the hero's journey in both works show that the adapter's interpretation of the novel text, in addition to changing the nature of the characters and the stages of the hero in the content of the later text, brings other changes. In addition, the social context of the story is new, and these changes, in turn, are the result of the adapter's intentions and his critical view of his time.
