    ARCHETYPAL PATTERNS IN IBSEN'S HEDDA GABLER A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by Maureen Frances Voigt, Bachelor of Arts The Ohio State University 1984 Approved by Copywright ~ 1984 / ~ "' by Maureen Frances Voigt kiL ../]/vl' /~-.- All rights reserved. ; Adviser Department of English "A plant which is to be brought to the fullest possible unfolding of its particular character must first of all be able to grow in the soil wherein it is planted." Carl Jung, Psychological Types Archetypal Patterns in Ibsen's Hedda Gabler Henrich Ibsen is often described as a social dramatist. In many of his plays, the focus is on such issues as the rights of women, a theme in A Doll House (1879), or illegitimacy, which is a major concern in The Wild Duck (1884). Ibsen shocked his audiences by his frank treatment of such social themes. In Ghosts (1881), a son suffers because of the venereal disease that he has inherited from his father. Because of its daring theme, the play could not be performed in the Scandinavian countries, and its first performance was in chicago. l By calling attention to social issues, Ibsen reminded his world that its prudish attitudes were really hypocriti­ cal because it pretended that the realities of life did not exist. In nineteenth-century Norwegian society, appearances meant more than realities, but through his plays, Ibsen 1 2 forced people to see life's truths behind bourgeois society's pretentious exterior. He felt that it was the poet's task to "see" life and to convey his vision in such a way "that whatever is seen is perceived by the audience just as the poet saw it."2 Thus, in an Ibsen play, the characters must confront life as it is, not as they would like it to be or as society dictates it.

    GEORGE C. CARRINGTON, JR. STAe <ffnwnetibe The World and Art of the Howells Novel Ohio State University Press $6.25 THE IMMENSE COMPLEX DRAMA The World and Art of the Howells Novel GEORGE C. CARRINGTON, JR. One of the most productive and complex of the major American writers, William Dean Howells presents many aspects to his biogra­ phers and critics — novelist, playwright, liter­ ary critic, editor, literary businessman, and Christian Socialist. Mr. Carrington chooses Howells the novelist as the subject of this penetrating examination of the complex relationships of theme, subject, technique, and form in the world of Howells fiction. He attempts to answer such questions as, What happens if we look at the novels of Howells with the irreducible minimum of exter­ nal reference and examine them for meaning? What do their structures tell us? What are their characteristic elements? Is there significance in the use of these elements? In the frequency of their use? In the patterns of their use? Avoiding the scholar-critic's preoccupation with programmatic realism, cultural concerns, historical phenomena, and parallels and influ­ ences, Mr. Carrington moves from the world of technical criticism into Howells' fiction and beyond, into the modern world of anxious, struggling, middle-class man. As a result, a new Howells emerges — a Howells who interests us not just because he was a novelist, but because of the novels he wrote: a Howells who lives as an artist or not at all. George C. Carrington, Jr., is assistant pro­ fessor of English at the Case Institute of Tech­ nology in Cleveland, Ohio.

KEY POINTS: 1. Theater is among the oldest, most instinctive art forms. 2. Theater developed from: • the innate human impulse to imitate; • the innate human impulse to tell and act out stories; • rituals, especially those related to spiritual needs, the agricultural calendar, and rites for the dead; • ceremonies that sustain cultural, civic, and institutional values. 3. Rituals: • are symbolic actions that satisfy the spiritual and cultural needs of a community; • are arranged in a pattern that eventually becomes precise in its repetition--this gives a sense of order and permanency that comforts the performers and audiences; • originally seem to have been intended to produce “magical effects.” 4.

Dissertation presented to the Faculty of Arts of the University of Glasgow in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Glasgow March 1996 Page 2 Abstract Academic work on Aboriginality in popular media has, understandably, been largely written in defensive registers. Aware of horrendous histories of Aboriginal murder, dispossession and pitying understanding at the hands of settlers, writers are worried about the effects of raced representation; and are always concerned to identify those texts which might be labelled racist. In order to make such a search meaningful, though, it is necessary to take as axiomatic certain propositions about the functioning of films: that they 'mean' in particular and stable ways, for example; and that sophisticated reading strategies can fully account for the possible ways a film interacts with audiences.

All presentations are free and open to the public. The Alley All New Festival will feature a combination of readings and workshops of six new plays. Playwrights will have the opportunity to work with a director and a company of actors to develop the play, while also offering audiences a first look at the work and insight into the playwriting process. “It’s not just the building that is new this season. The Alley All New Festival kick-offs what’s to come as we deepen our commitment to playwrights and new writing” said Artistic Director Gregory Boyd. “I look forward to bringing our audiences into the play development process and to introducing Houston audiences to these fantastic writers during the festival.” Cleo, by Pulitzer Prize-winner Lawrence Wright, is the story of the scandalous romance of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, set during the filming of the disastrous 1963 movie “Cleopatra”.
