Module 7 – Realism & Feminism in Norwegian Theatre

Welcome to Module 7! (2 – 2.5 hours each part)
This module is split over two weeks, as we are reading the full play Hedda Gabler. **Mind the spoilers in the PDF slides and part 2 content!**

PART 1: Here’s what you need to do during the first week of Module 7:

  1. Read from the Anthology:
    – Vol. 5: “Henrik Ibsen” (p. 2672);
    – Hedda Gabler, by Henrik Ibsen, 1891, Acts I and II. While you could read strategically for Candide, this is not a novel, but a play. It’s crucial to read a play linearly as there is acting game on top of the action. The advantage is that it reads super quickly, as not the whole page is filled by text, and it is mostly dialogues!

  2. Fill out the exit ticket for this lecture so I can count your participation.
    **Please note: there are two separate exit tickets for Module 7.1 (Acts I and II of the play) and 7.2 (Acts III and IV).**

  3. Do your Google Doc duty.

  2. Please finish reading the play: Hedda Gabler, Acts III and IV.
