This study analyzed a novel's becoming a film with Deleuze's 'becoming' concept as a foundation for seeking a way for a novel and a film to acquire mutual valuable, artistic performances. Novel's becoming a film marks the point which a novel is changed at from previous itself after its meeting with a film, and at the same time marks the point that the film is changed at from previous itself after its meeting with a novel. Until now, the studies about the novel ｢Mr. Man-Deuk, Jo｣ and the film have focused on the narrative differences being revealed from the media difference of novel and film, but this paper developed the research with more focusing on the theme aspect. Because that was considered to be a more appropriate research method in the creation's becoming a film, rather than the difference. In its beginning section, the novel ｢Mr. Man-Deuk, Jo｣ largely asks two questions: 'Does Mr. Man-Deuk, Jo want or doesn't want that (treating the delusion of grandeur)?' and 'It is up to Mr. Man-Deuk, Jo to make Dr. Min treating him as a real fortune or as a unfortune.' And the novel answers the two question through the section of conclusion and Dr. Min's speech. The film tries to draw its thematic consciousness through its answer about the second question, 'It is up to Mr. Man-Deuk, Jo to go through the real matter after his treatment.' The film constructs a different narrative framework from that of the novel ｢Mr. Man-Deuk, Jo｣ by focusing on expanding the characters in order to draw such answer, and produces an expanded meaning structure rather than the meaning of film itself. And the expansion of characters draws Su-Gyeong and Man-Su's another conclusion. The film suggests an open ending different from the novel's closed ending, and makes the audience grasp the chain of symbols. The novel ｢Mr. Man-Deuk, Jo｣ could newly sew the chains of the symbols having floated through the film 's creation of a new meaning structure, and that led to the expansion of meanings. Also, the film could let the audience grasp the chains of symbols in open ending by getting the answer about the second question through the first question as the meaning structure focused on the novel ｢Mr. Man-Deuk, Jo｣.
