a doll's house-series of events
a doll's house.
it begins with the platform that everything in the household is ok.the family isn't rich or poor,but middle/high class.the wife has been shopping,the husband has been doing his work in the next room,eveything's good.
next,mrs.linde comes into the picture.she returns to her friend nora,after years of a hard working life,without her husband.and the issue of torvald's illness comes up.the audiance learns that the family had to spend a year on a vacation for torvald's health.
when nora tells mrs.linde that she didn't get the money for the trip from her father,but rather forged his signature on her own bank loan,and the money was given to her by krogstad.and that torvald does not know.
then,krogstad comes to talk with nora.saying that he knows nora's father didn't sign the loan,that it was forged.and that he will tell trovald what nora has done if she is un-able to convince torvald to let krogstad keep his position at the bank.(this is the insighting action.)
nora then hopes for a miricle,she hopes that rank,out of the kindness of his heart will give her the money to pay off krogstad.
nora later tries to plea krogstad's case to torvald.begging torvald not to fire krogstad.when this fails,she looks toward her last hope,rank.
rank comes to visit torvald,and has a quick chat with nora.while nora begins to ask him about the money,rank tells her,that he thinks he will soon be dying,and that he is in love with her,making nora unable of asking him for money.
shortly after,krogstad comes to talk with nora as well.saying since he's been fired,he wants a higher position at the bank.and if he can't get it.her secret is coming out.
when krogstad leaves,he places a letter explaining nora's wrongs in the letter box.
when christine learns of this she feels that the letter is for the best,that nora should tell her husband everything.
nora waits for her miracle.(end of act 2)
mrs.linde then meets krogstad.where she convinces him to give nora back her bond,and stop holding it over her.the two see that they love each other,and that their "messed up" lives could work out if they were together.mrs.linde and krogstad get their "happy ending" together.
later,nora and torvlad return home from their party.
torvald goes to the letter box,and sees what nora has done.he screams at her,saying how she's poisioning the children,and worrying about how he will look,how this will affect him.
when another letter comes from krogstad,saying that nora is basically excused from what she has done,that krogstad won't tell anyone.and torvald changes his mind about nora.he beggs her to come back,but nora's made her desision.
nora decides to leave.saying that she has poisioned the family,that by leaving she's helping her family,her kids.agreeing with torvald's first points,while torvald tries to convince her to come bakc ,to stay with the family.but she leaves.

six characters-thursday
they begin the play.its been decided that based on the characteres experiences,the script will be written then performed by the actors.
and madame pace is spanish.
i think i'm getting it a little better now.now that we'll get to see what happened in the dress shop,with madame pace and the father and step-daughter.becasue they'll perform it.
so the daughter is a prostitute of some sorts?is that why there is a problem between her and the father?so the father went to the shop,and got her.his step-daughter.
that is messed up!
but i find it really comical how all the characters don't really like the actors that play them.the step-daughter and leading lady are competing almost for their part.the father was just confused.the mother's actor had problems with the name.for the director its almost "do you want to direct????..no?then great let me do it!"
its the same with the set.i almost want to tell the characters,you chose to come in search of your author.now that you have your story being written,just let it be wrote.just let go.but i feel like they wish they could do it themselves and they don't understand the workings of a play.maybe in the end, the whole play could go up on smoke,just because of the characters,the people who brought the play there.
i just want to see what happens already.i wish i could read the whole play at once,but i wouldn't understand a thing.
pg-100
today.i had my blacks.i wrote my dialogue,and i did the blogging.i wanted to do the repatition,but i'm happy i didn't.becuase now i can see how to do it correctly,and repeate,rather than have a conversation with the other person.i will go next week.i'm promising myself.and i'm excited for independant activity.mine might be too,for lack of a better word,pointless.but i have to think it over again,pick something thats hard,and has purpose.

wednesday.six characters is jerry springer.
so.
whats going on here.
i have no clue.none.
the fathe rlikes to talk in long drawn out speeches,often times thats what throws me off.he was talking about being a different person for each action,while the daughter was saying something about a dress maker.
there is oviously something that happened between the father ans step-daughter.
then the step-daughter and the son
then the son and the mother.
but what is it!i feel like once they say what exactly happened,i'll get the play.
but i find it really interesting when the director comes into play.i feel at first its like hours of realism,then someone comments for a bit,then back to realism.its like what we do in class.
but back to the stroy.i feel like the father did something to the step-daughter.did he rape her or something?because thats what it sounds like to me.then that would explain the step-daughters anger toward him.
but what is up with this family!its like a jerry springer show gone to the stage with less cursing and fighting.i'm just confused with the whole conflict.and the language too a bit.its not old i know that!but i just feel like its different...i'm not sure why.
but i can't wait untill they "rehearse" the six characters real life drama.because that will be interesting.what will the actors do?just sit there?i will wait and see.

dialoge time!
ok.so this.might be a bit weird.see that both of my past characters have been really general,so i need to "define them" i guess.hopefully this makes sense.
we have megan(first monologue) and samantha(second monologue)the two girls are acquaintances,each knowing enough of the other to have an argument.
megan is the smarter of the two girls.more dark and artistic.thinks with more definition and clear thoughts.she is a writer.
samantha is a bubbly girl,who is "random" at times.she not dumb,but not smart,and is very defensive of herself.she tends to blurt out what is exactly on her mind.whether it makes sense or not.
part from soc: shelp.
megan-(almost mockingly and sarcastically)i see that this whole over thinking thing,is something you've put alot of thought into.
samantha-(catches hint.slightly ticked off)well writing is something you put alot of thought into.
megan-(laughing)yeah.but my interest has a purpose in life.thinking about thinking is fucking beyond pointless.it just gets too dam confusing,and by that time, its ironic that your straining yourself thinking about thinking!
samantha-it's not my interest!it's what was on my mind!is "angry writing" on your mind all the time then?
megan-yeah when i'm angry.
samantha-(defending herself)well thats pretty dam pointless too!angry writing?who thinks about that?who would take the time to break that down to an almost science?who would write angerly so much,that they could discribe it like you did?
megan-anyone can describe something sam.it's not hard.
samantha-is that like some fucking stupid joke or something?!!?because listen bitch!i am far from stupid!
megan-maybe it is,maybe it isn't.maybe i think your one of the stupidest persons i've ever met!
samatha-(seems at a loss for words)well...it's....i....but.....bleh!fucking shelp.
megan-did you just say shelp?what in the hell is shelp?
samantha-i don't know its the first thing i could fucking think of!maybe its some fucking swedish band or some shit!
megan-why the hell is it swedish?
samantha-i don't know!it sounds fucking swedish!so i think it is!why don't you look it up or some shit!
megan-i really want to know now.like.is it really swedish?here i'll check on my phone.
samantha-really?are you serious right now?
megan-..how would you spell that?shelp?s-h-e-l-l-p-p?or one p?or one l?what do you think?
samantha-how the hell should i know!i'm just shocked how your trying to look this up.(rools eyes during megan's speach.stays for a bit.then leaves.)
megan-ok.so shelp.one l one p,is a indie rock band,that uses sheep recordings in all of their songs.there lead singer is named katie B-brownie.guitarist is caitlin schweer.weird name on that one.they have 5 sheep named happy,sappy,rappy,tappy,and bill.and they are from....NORWAY?!i really thought you were right on that one sam.this band seems really cool though.oh look they're going on tour soon!and they're stopping right around here!god.i really want to see them now.i'm like shocked how you totally guessed that though.its like you have esp or something.right sam?(notices sam has walked away)uh sam...want me to get you a ticket?

wednesday participation
pg-100
today we did view points.and i learned i can't be critical of myself.and that we have to be un-civilized to be actors.i'm scared now.i'm my number one critic,and now that we can't really do that.i might be lost at first.
but anyway,i participated today.i tried not to lead or have an ego.but i think i faultered alot.i can't help but laugh when we go group thought.i need to learn focus.once i think i have that,i think i'll be better with view points.
and thats why i want an A!!!!!!!!

six characters day 2!
so i think this is what going on with the 6 characters.
the mother.was with the father for sometime.untill she met his secretary.the father could see that she was un-happy with him so he sent her away with the secretary.
while with the secretary.the mother had a child,the step daughter.
the father kept their one child the son.and these two began to drift apart and butt heads.
then the father became curious of his wife's new family.
so he (for lack of a better word)stalked the step daughter.the way she describes it.he sounds like a petifile to me.is that the conflict going on between them?the reason for their tension together?
but when this new father died.they were poor so the mother came back to the town where the father lived.
the mother then took a job.where the owner and her boss was "after" her daughter in some way.
i'm confussed to say the least.they seem to be talking about things while skipping over others.where did the last two children come from?what happend with the father and step daughter?what is up with the son?is this an affair?or simply another relationship?when will the other actors on stage be brought in?or are they there for "Decoration?".
confussed.questioning.i'm trying to read into it more,to try and grasp whats going on,but i can't.
pg-100
so today we helped the seniors read.i'm really excited for mainstage.but today.i took notes in class.i asked you about the monologues,which i'm working on.i looked them up online,but i guess they're not there,you have to buy them.so i need a trip to barnes and noble.
anyways.i read with kaitlin today.i felt it was ok,though i know it wasn't my best.even though it was for kaitlins sake,i wish i colud have done better.
so i tried!that why i deserve a 100.
