Journal 2
1. Examine how Act I ends and how Act II begins.  To help examine the changes between the acts, consider the elements of the mise-en-scene: setting, characters and lighting.
2.  Consider how Ibsen discusses honesty?  What aspects of plot, characterization, motifs help develop the discussion?
3.  Consider how Ibsen portrays the family and home?  How does the environment influence and motivate the characters?

4.  "Realism and Naturalism are terms used to describe fiction that aims at minute fidelity to actual existence.  Realism connotes an attempt to give the illusion of the ordinary life, in which unexceptional people undergo everyday experiences"(Norton Anthology of English Literature Volume 2)  Examine how Ibsen portrays the common man and the common experience.
5.  Choose one motif we've discussed in class and acknowledge one additional motif to discuss.
