Abstract
Despite the critical acclaim and popularity Alice Munro’s works have been enjoying for decades, the number of television and film adaptations of her stories has been surprisingly scarce. In the present chapter, Ewa Bodal and Nelly Strehlau explore the successfulness of the transition from the pages of Alice Munro’s short story entitled “Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage” (first published in 2001 in the collection of the same title) to its 2013 film adaptation Hateship Loveship, directed by Liza Johnson. To that end, they juxtapose the short story and the film, analyzing the changes within the plot, the setting and the depiction of the characters from the original to its adaptation.

It might be noted that had the film version of the prank remained connected with non-electronic mail, its perpetration by the girls would be considered a federal offence in the United States.
