Emotional Development
Emotional development is a theme that most authors use in their plays to make the stories interesting. Plays and stories that excel in emotional development are those whose author conveys the emotional personality through active non-verbal communication with the correct intensity and frequency. When readers or the audience connect with the emotional level of characters, the interaction with the play becomes deep and meaningful. Authors that have taken their time to write deep emotional scenes allow the audience to take part in the story. The audience can take part in the storyline when they are sad when their favorite characters are sad and enjoy happiness together during joyous times. In stories and plays, authors create scenes that describe emotional development and emotional change. In the emotional development of a character, the story sends out the character, which ends up with the character demonstrating inner transformation. Therefore, the ultimate emotional development of characters is a step-by-step process. In stories and plays, emotional development is cumulative, long-term, and transformative. Additionally, emotional development affects other characters in various ways. Emotional change is explained by the dramatic actions where a character jumps from one emotional state to another. The essay will compare the emotional development of the characters in different plays and stories and explain how their emotional development affects the work of other characters.
Hedda Gabler in Ibsen’s play
At the time of her death, Hedda Gabler is disappointed when she learns that there is no truth in the descriptions of Eliert’s death. The judge decides to lie to make Thea not to fall into depression deeply. Hedda realizes that Eliert shot himself somewhere in the stomach but not in the chest (Ibsen 831). She describes such a death as a curse to everything she has in touch with, and because she does not want to experience a misery life, she shoots herself. She opts to kill herself because she does not want to get disappointed forever (Ibsen 834). This play has a strong and suspenseful plot as far as emotional development is concerned, where the death of one character lives the audience to wonder what will happen in the next plot. In the emotional development of Hedda Gabler, she foreshadows her death, where other characters are affected because her death means a change in the direction of the plot. However, in this case, when Hedda dies, it finalizes the plot and completes the dramatic story. The death of Hedda ends the development of other characters because the plot comes to a dramatic end. She is the main character in the play, and the development of other characters would have taken a new turn if she was not the main character, and they could have demonstrated the gap.
