COLORS

I find it interesting how the "colors" in both plays read so far differ. "The House of Bernarda Alba" is so photographic, while "Hedda Gabler" is slightly more colorful. I specifically remember color being mentioned in Gabler, a reference to the autumn color, and also the amount of light that comes into the house. Lorca focuses much more on that black/white stark contrast stuff to get us to remember certain scenes. Ibsen doesnt need that, its easy to remember what happens in Gabler because a lot of it is so insane, such as Hedda pointing a gun at Brack. I'm showing bias, but eh, its my blog.
