Shoot 'em up!

Yea so after today's creative responses, especially dorian's group where every single character except Thea gets shot and dies, I realized that almost everyone in this play just over reacts. Hedda and Lovborg had really bad reasons for killing themselves, and George definitely overreactedfor those slippers. Also, Thea overreacted when she found out Lovborg died (except im pretty sure she knew what she was doing and was already planning out her next move). So there was almost too much drama in the play, which is saying something cuz there was basically no drama at all, just people talking about stuff. I guess that's why I found the play extra boring, cuz there wasnt much action, and when there was action it was annoyingly exaggerated.

"the city is at war....bang! bang! shoot 'em up, yeah~!" hehe

lol you are sooo right. every body in the play over-exaggerates EVERYTHING. and my creative response group over-exaggerated their over-exaggerated-ness. if that makes sense lol. but, ya, really. honestly, those characters need to chill out. nothing in that play seemed like a big deal. but maybe it's just because we're like in a time period where that kind of stuff is acceptable.

yea its kinda dumb that their society doesnt really let them say stuff, but at the same time all the characters do is talk, just in a sort of dumb code thing like theyre slick!!!

also, im glad you caught the song reference :)

I heard your class's creative responses were pretty funny...but i agree-when i was reading this play which isn't my favorite out of the two we read so far, I felt the same way...things were way dragged out and it did seem over-dramatized, but i guess that is what a play is, but it was kindof annoying reading it-idk...i agree with what u said
