Leste denne boka som del av pensum i norskstudier.

Jeg forstår godt hvorfor denne boka er så sentral i nordisk litteraturstudier, pga struktur, oppbygging og avslutningen. Det er en bok som får en til å reflektere.

Selve historien er grei, men jeg slet faktisk med hvordan boka avsluttet. Det tok litt tid å innse at handlingen i boka dreier seg om vennskapet mellom de to jentene, og at målet aldri var at man skulle få en ordentlig konklusjon på historien.

I struggled to get through the first half but eventually the pace picked up and I understood more about the storyline. By the ending I couldn't put it down. It really made me reflect on the struggles of the women before me. Recommended.

Leste boka sammen med elever på ungdomsskole. Lettlest bok, fin å bruke i norskundervisningen. Viktig tema som ungdom bør lære om. Noen grafiske scener, men ikke sånn kjempeille.

A funny comedy. I can see why this play is still set up in theatres 300 years after its release. I had heard of this play before reading it, but I didn't know what it was about. I found the story to be genious (although heavily influenced by a similar story by another writer). It's also very cool to be able to understand the old Danish language, as a Norwegian.

Skulle lese den til studier i nordisk litteratur, men ble ikke ferdig. Mye detaljer, vanskelig å huske sammenhenger.

Dette er en norsk klassiker jeg hadde forhåpninger til, men den er så langdryg og tung å komme igjennom. Skulle lese den til studier i nordisk litteratur, men ble ikke ferdig.

Skulle lese den til studer i norrøn litteratur, men rakk ikke lese den ferdig. Har ikke motivasjon til å lese den nå i ettertid, for det er så mange forskjellige små historier og detaljer å forholde seg til.
