A Doll's House - my initial reaction

A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fantastic, awe-inspiring character creation. I want to explore all the nuances of Christine Linde, and Dr. Rank, and Krogstad, and especially Nora. Anyone who essays to interpret this merely as some sort of feminist power-politics commentary is seriously shortchanging themselves, and misusing the play. I'm itching already to reread it, multiple times, as well as to actually see it. (Maybe I'll start with the Christopher Plummer & Julie Harris version, I think it's all on YouTube.)

Yep, I am officially an Ibsen admirer.

A little reading

I can't resist sharing a bit from my favourite ... is it social networking?... website, www.goodreads.com. There is never, of course, enough time to read: perhaps the second-most-irrefutable fact of life. Having cute little book-cover tiles of some things I have read makes me feel (justifiably or not) somewhat less unhappy about this.
