Adaptation as reception—or, Lady Bird as The Tempest

This research explores the concept of 'found adaptation,' where an audience member perceives one work as an adaptation of another, even if the creators did not intend this connection. It argues that audience reception can be a powerful force in shaping adaptive relationships, moving beyond traditional notions that focus solely on the production side. The article examines the relationship between Greta Gerwig's film *Lady Bird* (2017) and William Shakespeare's play *The Tempest*, suggesting that viewing them through each other's lens can deepen the understanding of both. By analyzing thematic connections such as parent-daughter dynamics, female agency, and forgiveness, the research proposes that adaptation is a process involving both creators and receivers. It posits that these audience-generated connections, termed 'found adaptations,' can be as meaningful and insightful as officially acknowledged adaptations, highlighting the creative power of the receiver.
