Wild Duck Responses

Ivan Kallevig:

"Well I like this because it's kind of a cool read, but what does it do to connect to the play?  I feel like this brings up nationalist vibes when the play shows no focus on that.  Either way though, it looks pretty haha."

Tanner Bean:

"Good quotes and comparison, but I think you overlooked something that puts this whole "cut out" idea at a midpoint.  For the most part, Ibsen actually uses the dull parts to express important information to the audience in a format of which they are more accustomed, that they can relate to.  So I think that to an extent the playwright can manipulate "dull" moments to be key parts of the rising action or even the climax."

Montana Agnew:

"I agree with you here too.  I think it can really vary from play to play, and that each can serve different purposes.  Like Jordy though, I often see style as just the frosting on the plot, simply adding dimensions to what is actually happening but not laying the ground work for the book."
