What novel served as the inspiration for Jaws?

Well, it's not based on a single specific novel. Victor Hugo drew inspiration from multiple elements of French culture, history, and literature of his time to create this masterpiece.

One possible inspiration could be 'Berserk'. Both feature dark and gritty themes with powerful and somewhat flawed protagonists.

There are many possible inspirations. Some point to classic myths and legends, while others suggest science fiction works from the past.

Perhaps it was Patricia Cornwell. Her novels in 1990 had a significant impact and could have been the inspiration.

It's hard to pinpoint one specific book, but the literary landscape of the time, with works like those of Maria Edgeworth and Ann Radcliffe, likely played a role in shaping Austen's writing style and choice of subjects.

I think it's hard to pinpoint one specific movie. Maybe a combination of various crime and indie films influenced it.

Yes, Jaws is a novel. It was written by Peter Benchley and became very popular.

I'm not sure. I don't think Jaws is based on a specific novel.

The core of the Jaws novel is a combination of suspense, human nature exploration, and a cautionary tale about our relationship with the environment. It highlights the terror of the unknown and the consequences of our actions.

It might have new characters or different settings. Maybe it focuses on a different aspect of the shark attacks.
