Reading “The Dead” by James Joyce reminded me so much of reading Henrik Ibsen’s play “A Doll’s House.” I have no idea what sparked that idea in my head, but I remember how BORED I was reading Ibsen’s piece, and I’m not going to lie… Joyce bored me to death, no pun intended. After watching several of the clips that were posted on Sam’s blog of the cinematic version of “The Dead,” the connection became much stronger because no longer was I directing the action in my head, rather I was watching an interpretation of those scenes. The themes don’t exactly match up, but the action, or rather lackthereof seems to be very similar!
