One character in this play is fascinated by a picture of Death holding an hourglass next to a little girl, which appears in her favorite book Harrison's History of London. At the end of the first act the protagonist yells at his adversary, "When I look back upon your long career, it's as if I saw a battlefield strewn at every turn with shattered lives" before noticing the house guests are playing Blind Man's Bluff, while in a later scene a doctor consoles an alcoholic theology student by telling him he suffers because he is "daemonic." [?] Dr. Relling argues that a "life lie" is more realistic than the protagonist's belief in the "claim of the ideal." One character brags about his invention he is creating in his photography studio that will restore his family's name and he is later infuriated to discover his wife Gina had slept with his Old Ekdal's former partner Hakon Werle. For 10 points, Gregers Werle tries to convince Hedvig to shoot the titular bird in this Henrik Ibsen play.
