The ideas/motifs you have here are really great. I think it is interesting. I'm wondering how you interpreted the conclusion of the play because you say the sea brings hope and freedom (Ben Webster Wild Duck journal entry #3).
I agree visual action is extremely important. I enjoyed that you put specific instances to support your ideas. The only thing I am wondering is do you think the setting is more important to the play than the dialogue? I think you did a terrific job arguing that the visual action is important however I feel you could compare it to the importance of the dialogue (Kylee Rosette Wild Duck journal entry #4).
Isabel! Your journal entry has good insights! Your connection of "Oedipus the King" to religion is interesting and I hadn't thought about it that way.
When you say in Oedipus the play doesn't focus on the waiting parts I do agree to an extent, there were several times that Oedipus had to wait for something he wished to be brought like the Shepherd he did wait for him to come however to keep the action up he had conversed with the Messenger while he was waiting. I don't understand what you mean by the puzzling part Sophocles leaves out of Oedipus. Maybe clarify a little.
I agree with your analysis of the "Wild Duck" there does seem to be everyday conversation mixed in with the play (Isabel Harger Wild Duck journal entry #5).
