Since the text is not specific, what do you imagine happens to Connie at the end of the story? ( Answer This Theme Question) 

Also,  Which one of the Strategies do you believe belongs to the Chopra film adaptation of the Oates story?

1. Concentration strategy. The filmmaker keeps most of the elements of narrative from the short story, concentrates those elements at the beginning, middle, or end of the film, and adds invented elements to the rest of the film.

2. I  Interweaving strategy. The filmmakers keep most of the elements of narrative from the short story, disperses those elements throughout the film, although not necessarily in their original order and interweaves either invented elements or invented expansions to already existing elements.

3.  Point-of-departure strategy. The filmmakers drop most of the elements of narrative from the short story, keep perhaps the plot premise, a character’s name, or just the title and, using these elements as a point of departure, adds an invented narrative.
