The Wild Duck seems to touch on secret and lies that are kept from family members. Not exactly sure if the question is asking this but I think that play seems portray kind like today in society how people lie and keep secrets either to hurt someone or just to keep for themselves cause they know that that secret could ruin them. Not really sure if this is correct at all but In the Wild Duck secrets seem to be kept cause the father doesn't want to let the son know what he is doing. Like when his friend gets married or paying for his photography school its all a secret. In society secrets seem to be used to bring someone down or ruin them permanently. Like with embarrassing videos and pictures ect. Secrets come out to ruin, blah. But the thing is I guess the play is trying to portray how secrets seem to have a snowball effect on what is going to happen next in the play. It seems that from one small thing kept from another person may cause a huge scandal that may tear apart everyone and just make everyone split or not trust anyone anymore. It may even just ruin someone. So from this prompt not exactly knowing if I answered the question correctly The Wild Duck seems to show how secrets and lies maybe the downfall of someone if the trust is not outspoken first and revealed to everyone
Good concepts sir! There are a lot of decent ideas for a paper if you can connect them with an image or symbol. The snowball effect and splitting relationships are good descriptions.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jarrad. There is a significant amount of symbols and motifs demonstarted.I especially like the element of secrets and lies as well as what I believe to be deception. I think this would be a good topic to look into further!
