A2 Literature - Hedda Gabler Independent Work 22/11/13

Due to the King Lear study day, we will not be having our usual A2 Literature lesson. However, as independent work, I'd like you to watch Act One of this 1972 television production of Hedda Gabler:




As you watch, write a paragraph in response to each of the following 3 questions:

1) To what extent do you feel the actors have been well cast in this production?
2) Which elements of the play are given particular emphasis in this production? Why do you think this is?
3) To what extent does this production lend itself to a Freudian reading? (Use your notes from last lesson to help with this question)

A2 Literature; A2 LangLit - What is a Symbol? What is a Metaphor?
