In today's world, the media play a very important role in terms of their very use and understanding. At times we are not even aware of how much impact they have on us. Today we are offered different types of media through which we can interpret the same view of a character in different ways. The character is an important element of the epic, dramatic (stage) and film structure, and as such it runs through the educational content of the Croatian language, literature, stage and film art almost from the first to the eighth grade of primary school. In vertical-spiral programming, program determinants are arranged from the simplest observation of the character to analytical consideration from ethical, sociological, psychological, linguistic and aesthetic points of view. The specifics of a literary, stage and film character largely depend on the knowledge and skills of the performer himself, so for a solid school interpretation of a character, the teacher must be sufficiently literary and film educated. The literary work offers a view of imagining a character based on what is read. The peculiarity of a literary work is that it offers its reader a wide range of fantasies. On the other hand, film provides both image and sound, in fact everything we can experience with our senses. It has already formed and shown the overall appearance of the character, so that for all end users the physical appearance of the character is the same. The character's psyche is shown gradually by his facial expressions, actions, body movements, thoughts and actions towards his surroundings. Since it is the most modern of all media, it is most often used by children. Each of these media is special in its own way and provides what the other cannot. Their diversity in this paper is shown on the examples of Mate Lovrak's novel Družba Pere Kvržice and Anka Brazilijanka and their film achievements.
