Sansho Dayu: folktale/story/film

Here, where I say "story," I mean the folk tale.

in the story, the kids are branded

in Ogai’s story, they dream of being branded

in the film, they are not branded, and in fact,  does the branding

in the story, A. is caught and tortured to death (what is feared in the film)

in Ogai, she dies in a swamp, and her death is discovered by finding her sandals

in the film, we see her remove her sandals before entering a pond

in the story, Z is taken to Kyoto by a monk, and is adopted by a minister

in Ogai, Z becomes a monk, and meets the Kampaku by chance

in the film, Z masquerades as a monk, and makes a personal appeal to the Kampaku

            (i.e., the most “democratic” version of this element)

in the story, Sansho and his son Saburo are killed

in Ogai, Sansho and sons become prosperous

in the film, they are exiled

in the story, Tamiki had been exiled to Ezo, and the maid was taken too

in Ogai, Tamiki is taken to Sado, and the maid commits suicide

in the film, the maid is pushed off the boad, and Tamiki is taken to Sado

in the story, Tamiki and Uba work as scarecrows from the start

in Ogai, there is no mention of what they did at first

in the film, Tamiki becomes the prostitute Nakagimi

Mizoguchi adds the story of Namiji, which resonates with the story of obasuteyama

in the story, Masauji is pardoned and returns to Kyoto, and then they return to the place   where he had been stationed, and become prosperous

in Ogai, the father is dead, but there is no mention of what he did in Tsukushi

in the film, the father is reported to have done benevolent and compassionate things for    people
