Read the passage. A stage adaptation of "North Wind" moves the story from a nineteenth-century port to a modern train terminal and removes two minor characters.

The production's departures are best understood as an argument about what the source's central conflict means now. Which choice best characterizes the purpose organizing the discussion of the modern stage adaptation of North Wind?
