• Journal #2:  How does Ibsen use the motif of decay, disease, illness, etc and to what effect?  Use at least three quotes in the defense of you claim. 
• Thesis statement: we will be sharing our thesis statement from the end of last class about Ibsen's use of realistic content; consider polishing it until you are proud of it.  For example: "Ibsen uses terse verbal exchanges between husband and wife to show the often unnoticed consequences of secrets kept.  This is done to reveal that there are always consequences for the decisions we make about what, when, and how much we reveal about ourselves to others."
