Cover of Ibsen...what is up with it??
Looking at the front cover of Ibsen.....I think I can somewhat figure out what it is saying. The use of yellows, browns, and reds and the water suggest that it maybe warm or fairly warm outiside, which is suggested in ACT 1's description, where it says trees are in autumn colors. Also the clothing that the people are wearing could suggest some type of mourning or church-going event, due to the look of the hats. Moreover, the position of the houses and the balcony where the people are standing could suggest a wealthy or more upperclass approach b/c the people are looking down up them, physically and mentally. The water's color could also suggest a sadness or down feeling, which also adds to the mourning implication. Lastly, the characters on the front could represent Hedda, George, Thea, Lovborg, Aunt Julie, or any other number of the characters in the story. Who is on the front cover???.....the world may never know.
