After reading the short story 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry and watching its movie adaptation, reflect on the narrative elements of both versions. How does the film version enhance or detract from the original text in terms of the narrative's plot, character development, and theme? Remember to provide examples from both the written story and the movie to support your answer.

The film version neither enhances nor detracts from the original text as they are two different mediums and cannot be compared.

The film version always enhances the original text by adding visual and auditory cues.

The film version detracts from the original text by adding unnecessary scenes and subplots.

Whether the film version enhances or detracts from the original text depends on how effectively it uses the advantages of its medium to convey the plot, develop the characters, and express the theme.

The film version always detracts from the original text because it cannot capture the depth of the characters and the theme as effectively as the written word.
