Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Upon witnessing Colin's reunion with his father in the 1993 version, Mary runs away and cries that no one wants her, being reminded of how she's an orphan herself. This is followed by Archibald Craven comforting her. This scene did not happen in the book.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Archibald Craven regarding his son Colin, to an extent. In the book he can't bear to see Colin because he reminds him too much of Lillias, especially because he [[FamilyEyeResemblance has her eyes]], and it's implied that when Colin was born, Archibald [[MaternalDeathBlameTheChild blamed him for Lillias's death]], refusing to even look at the baby and saying "it'd better die." In the movie, he still keeps his distance from Colin, but it's clear that he does care for him and is sad about his frail condition – he's just afraid to bond with him because he thinks Colin is going to die and doesn't want to be hurt by loss again.

Added DiffLines:

* PragmaticAdaptation: Mary's parents die because of an earthquake rather than a cholera outbreak, both because it saves time/explanation and because the audience won't have to see any hint of the frankly nightmarish situation described in the book.
