ABSTRACT
The System of Dr. Tarr and Prof. Fether, written by American Romantic novelist Edgar Allan Poe, is regarded as a classic of absurd humorous short story. On this basis, director Brad Anderson adapted it into the movie Stonehearst Asylum. There are some differences between the text and film in space-time, characters, plots, themes, and ultimate artistic principles, reflecting the choices between ethics and aesthetics.
