A Year of Ibsen
5/22/2006 6:46:21 PM
... just because ...
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060522/ap_en_ot/ibsen_centennial .... A Year of Ibsen. Just saw this on Yahoo. "A Doll's House" and all that. My absolute favorite play.
Other than that ... "School's out for summer!" ... except it's not ... but finals are over. The A's are mine! Phi Theta Kappa, Baby!!!!!
More later. Hi to all. Thanks for emails and messages. I haven't disappeared, just working lots for the time being till summer classes start. The saga continues ...
Anyways, check out Ibsen!
"There can be no freedom or beauty about a home life that depends on borrowing and debt." Ibsen, Ibsen, Ibsen!
"It is no use lying to one's self." Oh, Ibsen!
NORA.
Well, and besides that, I made money in other ways. Last winter I was so lucky- I got a heap of copying to do. I shut myself up every evening and wrote far into the night. Oh, sometimes I was so tired, so tired. And yet it was splendid to work in that way and earn money. I almost felt as if I was a man.
... a translator and a transcriber, after my own heart!
NORA.
Oh dear, can't you understand? There wasn't any old gentleman: it was only what I used to dream and dream when I was at my wits' end for money. But it doesn't matter now- the tiresome old creature may stay where he is for me. I care nothing for him or his will; for now my troubles are over. [Springing up.] Oh, Christina, how glorious it is to think of! Free from all anxiety! Free, quite free. To be able to play and romp about with the children; to have things tasteful and pretty in the house, exactly as Torvald likes it! And then the spring will soon be here, with the great blue sky. Perhaps then we shall have a little holiday. Perhaps I shall see the sea again. Oh, what a wonderful thing it is to live and to be happy! [The hall-door bell rings.]
... Okay, I'm done now, but if ever I have enough nerve to do public theater and think I could do it without flailing and falling down (clumsy, I am), I'd fight to the death to play Nora's part!
Enough said, celebrate Ibsen! So cool, only wish I were unpacked as I have a very old, vintage, lovely copy of his plays!
