* To provide a different perspective on the original story. A reinterpretation can offer a fresh look at a familiar story by changing the point of view of the narrator or exploring different aspects of the characters. For example, the novel Wicked tells the story of The Wizard of Oz from the perspective of the Wicked Witch of the West.
* To create a new work of art that is inspired by the original story. A reinterpretation can be a creative way to pay homage to a beloved work of art. For example, the musical Hamilton is based on the life of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton and draws inspiration from his biography.
* To make the story more accessible to a wider audience. A reinterpretation can simplify the language or plot of a complex story, making it easier for readers of all ages and backgrounds to enjoy. For example, the graphic novel adaptation of The Lord of the Rings trilogy makes J.R.R. Tolkien's epic fantasy more accessible to readers who might not be familiar with the original novels.
