Some Thoughts...

So I wrote this and then I accidently deleted it all and now I have to rewrite it all over again, doesn't tha just suck, oh well here goes, again!
I wanted to discuss the character of Mademoiselle Diana. In our creative aspect in class we played out our version of Lovborg's death in which he went to Diana and things got out of hand when she brought up the manuscript but then Brack showed up angry and drunk, ready to kill because he was upset that Lovborg was coming into his triangle of friends. It played out that Brack killed Lovborg with Hedda's pistol and then with all his connections was able to make it seem as though Lovborg killed himself. We tried to develop the characters of the prostitutes and Diana. In some ways I think Diana may be a very interesting character to dissect. Ibsen mentions her a few times and to the plot it may not seem all that important as to who she it but if we look at her she is the ideal woman, the woman Hedda strives to become. Page 281 is when she is first discussed as a red-haired, singer and brothel owner. She's described as welcoming but also a "huntress", it makes it clear that this woman has power, for she can run the lives of the men who come to her. And in many cases it also seems she is respected by the men because Brack, a judge, never once uses insulting terms to describe her. Also it is in her presence that Lovborg dies, which infuriates Hedda, because this woman is a model among woman holding her own--- I suppose this can be seem as quite derogatory towards women than, Ibsen implying that woman can only get power by use of their bodies...
