Hedda Gabler (Diana Rigg) Part 11 (FINAL)

Ozzy Osbourne - Diary of a Madman

Metamophosis

Before Gregor transformed, his life already seemed to be boring. The only thing he cared about was taking care of his family. He didnt have any real relationships, with his family, nor did he have friends. Gregor realized that he was already a bug before his transformation due to the social stature of his life that he had already lived. Most insects have workers that provide for the familie, and thats just what Gregor was doing. Ultimately all he wanted to do was work, because it was an expectation, all the burden was on him, just as when families on insects depend on the worker group. His dedication to work make his family members lazy, which is more of a burden on him. I think the transformation was because he was tired, and couldnt handle the responsibility any longer. No one seems to be concerned, or care for him but his sister, but that soon faded. The real Gregor went away a long time ago, he died when he took up all the families burden of providing for them. His work was the hard outer shell, that seperated him from his family, and changed the way they thought of him

Hedda Gabler

Hedda seemed to be trapped and constrained. She allowed herself to be married to a man that she had no respect for. She protrays herself to be a victim of circumstance trapped in a marriage to a man she does not love and a woman who thinks she is in control of her life. Hedda seems to manipulate the people around her, she tends to make the men around her feel in competent and weak. Hedda wanted to shape a man's destiny by taking control and once she has done that she despises him.

FROM SONG OF MYSELF! -morgan peach

While reading this poem by Walt Whitman, I went back and forth trying to figure out who or what the speaker was. I wanted to read the poem before I read the break down of it and Walt Whitmans work on the pages before. I got a view different vibes as to who the speaker might be and what this poem was truely about. I felt, at first, that this might be an insane asylum or an inmate of some kind because of their thought process throughout the whole thing
. "Has any one supposed it lucky to be born? I hasten to inform him or her it is just as lucky to die, and i know it"(pg.983). Then for a breif moment I thought the speaker could be a higher power of some sort. "I am he that walks with the tender and growing night, i call to the earth and sea half-held by the night"(pg.984). At the end, I came to the conclusion that HE was a middle aged gentlemen and was a very genuine person, very true at heart in what he believed or didnt believe in. He possibly was even waiting on or looking for a long lost lover? Besides being confused at the flip flop of the speaker, I really did enjoy this poem. It was almost as if it were different stories within the same story.
