Although the story '' Gift Of The Magi" , written by O.Henry, and the play version of "The Gift Of The Magi" are the same, there are some differences.
In both the play and the story Della cuts off her hair so she can get Jim, her husband, a gift. They both said the gift was going to be a watch chain. Also, Jim sells his watch so he can can get a present his wife, she was looking at brushes. The theme of both stories is "it is better to give than to receive".
In the play Della gets $20.00 and in the story she gets $200.00. In play Madame Sophronie was a guy who smoked cigars, on the other hand, in the story Madame Sophronie was a girl. In the play Della looked all over for a watch chain, but in the story she had picked it out all ready. In the play her neighbor told her about cutting her hair, yet, in the story there was no neighbor. In the play Della's hair was short and curly, however, in the story her hair was as short as a boy.
Both the play and the story were different but similar, and gave the same meaning about what is important at Christmas.
