Secret 1 - The Book Thief, The days of the Deer, Sandman

[personal profile] transcriptanon 2013-09-04 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Picture is the covers of the books "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak and "The Days of the Deer" by Liliana Bodoc. There is also an image of the character "Death" from the comic book "Sandman" by the writer Neil Gaiman. The cover of "The Book Thief" shows domino pieces lined up; "The days of the Deer" shows a golden shiny circular object, like a shield, possibly. And Death from "Sandman" looks like a young woman in a gothic style, with medium-long black hair, black gloves, black boots, pants, belt and top and an ankh hanging from a necklace. She is holding a black umbrella and letting it rest against her shoulder.]

I read "The Book Thief" in Spanish. Death was always referred to as "she", as it has always been in that language. So I pictured Death's voice as some cool, rough, ancient female voice. Besides that, around that time, I read "The Days of the Deer" and "Sandman", were Death was female as well.

Now that The Book Thief is coming out, I know that Death will have to have a male voice (as in the book) or at least a neutral one, and that above all things will damage my beautiful perception of the concept of Death. I don't even know why.

I know, "movies don't ruin books", cry moar, OP.
