FINAL BLOG!!!!!!!!!!

well this is the final blog for the play Hedda Gabler and i am going to miss doing this dearly ... nvm i get to do it right away again for Lysistrata!!!!!!!!!!!!

In this blog i thought i would wrap things up by making another of my famous lists of similiarities!!!!! This list will be focusing on the similiarites between the 2 plays we have read but i will not go into much details on the characters seeing as i have done that extensively already in previous blogs.

1. The setting in both plays never really moves and is in a house. In Hedda Gabler it is in one room for most of the time, and for Bernarda Alba the play is in one house.

2. As the play commences the color change is vital. The colors start of dark in the beginning and get light in the end of Bernarda Alba as if to suggest a freedom from oppression for Adela, and the colors go from light to dark in the play Hedda Gabler as if to show potiential for happiness to death and misery in the end.

3. For my final point, both plays involve a love triangle or quadrangle or whatever you prefer. In Bernarda Alba there is a love connection between Angustias, Adela, and Pepe el Romano. In Hedda Gabler there is a love connection between Hedda Gabler, Brack, and Lovborg, and possibly George if you just want to throw him into the mix because of the fact that he is Hedda's husband.

Stephen, I like how you compared the two plays however I would recommend that you mention what I saw as a key similarity between the two: the resulting suicide and potential breakdown of two extremely creditable women.
