1) Pastiches
Pastiche for Anouilh (Pg. 6 - Chorus)
Jared has given a formal decree that Pettersen, the person he supported, is to be buried with respect and care, and that Jekel is to be thrown away. The pigs and beavers can have their fill upon his corpse. No one shall weep for him. No monument is to be built in remembrance of him. And most importantly, any individual who tries to provide him with a proper burial shall have himself be exterminated.
Pastiche for Ibsen (Pg. 121 - Guests)
The Hairy Visitor: Ah, with just a bit of inspiration a person could do many things in twenty minutes.
The Thin Visitor: I agree, but what next, my friend, what next.
The Second Visitor: From what I’ve heard we can preview coffee and liqueur in the living room.
The Thin Visitor: Very well! Then possibly Mrs. Løry will perform a piece.
The Hairy Visitor (in an overtone): Just so Mrs. Løry won’t perform us out.
2) While I was working with Anouilh’s writing I noticed that his language is mostly directs and to the point at most times. I found this easy to manipulate into another topic. His grave tone combine with the formal atmosphere that he says it in sounded powerful. Ibsen, on the other hand, was a bit challenging. The syntax of his writing is meant to have an underlying message that is not always obvious to the reader. I had to focus on how Ibsen portrayed each character while keeping the figurative language used. For instance, I desired using “coffee and buttered bread” but instead they used liqueur which was an unusual combination. Also, the use of figurative language was shown in the quote from the book, “play us to pieces”. This portrayed Mrs. Sørby as a witty, logical and seemingly manipulative person.
