These differences between the novel and the movie set the stage for the differing circumstances of Vesper Lynd’s death. In the cinematic narrative, she’s coerced into betraying Bond because her lover is held hostage by the criminal organization Le Chiffre works for. She is still a treasury agent and a love interest of Bond, but her reasons for becoming a double agent are more deeply explored. Played by Eva Green, her character becomes more complex and enigmatic. Her portrayal in the 2006 film Casino Royale varies from the novel, with some aspects of her character and story arc enhanced for dramatic effect.
