Question

This play’s translator Eleanor Marx Aveling lamented that one of its character’s malapropisms could only be preserved with the words “divide” and “pigstol.” After extolling a photobook featuring death holding an hourglass, a girl (15[1])in this play (15[2])admits that she considers a room filled with rabbits to be “the depths (15[1])of the (15[1])sea.” (-5[1])A man who diagnoses himself with “virtue-fever” (15[1])ends this play by declaring his fate to be “the thirteenth at the (*) table.” (10[4]-5[1])This (10[1]-5[1])play’s protagonist, (10[1])a (-5[1])photographer, (10[2])stops work on an unspecified (10[2])invention (-5[1])after he learns (10[1])that his (10[2])friend’s father (10[1])has the (10[1])same oncoming blindness as his daughter. (10[1])In this play, the idealist Gregers Werle (10[1])reveals the “life-lies” (10[1])of Gina (10[1])and Hjalmar (“h’YAL-mar”) Ekdal. For 10 points, name this Henrik Ibsen (10[1])play (-5[2])in which (-5[1])Hedvig shoots (10[1])herself (10[4]0[1]-5[2])instead (-5[2])of the title bird. ■END■ (10[6]0[13])
