  1. Lets apply this information to Lesson 2 “IN THE HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING”TROLLS……….

  2. HENRIK IBSEN GIVES US CLUES ABOUT WHAT HE THINKS TROLLS ARE LIKE. This is a description of what Peer Gynt thinks that Trolls are like, it sounds a bit scary, but remember this character isn’t known for being truthful, he makes up fantasy stories, in this scene he is trying scare someone: • I can turn myself into a troll! • I shall come and stand by your bed at midnight; And if you hear something that's hissing and spitting Don't you suppose it's your cat you are hearing. • It is I ! And I'll drain your life-blood out of you; And your little sister I'll eat her up, For I turn to a were-wolf whenever the night falls, Your loins and your back I'll bite all over.

  3. MORE CLUESIn this scene Peer has run away from the angry villagers, the narrator describes the scene as he arrives at the Hall of the Mountain King: • The Royal Hall of the King of the Trolls. A great assembly of TROLL COURTIERS, BROWNIES, and GNOMES. The TROLL KING is seated on his throne, with crown and sceptre. His children, and nearest relations sit on either side of him. • PEER GYNT standing before him. There is a great uproar in the hall. • TROLL COURTIERS. Slay him! The Christian's son has tempted The fairest daughter of our King ! • A TROLL IMP. Let me slash him on the fingers! • ANOTHER. May I tear his hair out for him? • A TOLL MAIDEN. Let me bite him on the buttocks! • TROLL WITCH [with a ladle]. Let me boil him down for broth! • ANOTHER [holding a chopper]. Shall he toast on a spit or be browned

  4. CLUES TO DETAILThese are the rules set down by the king for Peer Gynt to marry his daughter and become a troll. • …………………Shun the day, its deeds, and all the sunlit places. • THE OLDEST TROLL COURTIER [to PEER GYNT]. Let's see if you've got a wisdom tooth That can crack the nut of our monarch's riddle ! • THE TROLL KING. What is the difference between Trolls and Men? • PEER GYNT. There isn't any, as far as I can gather; Big Trolls would roast and little ones would claw you Just as with us if only we dared do it. • THE TROLL KING. True; we're alike in that and other things too. Still, just as morning's different from evening, So there's a real difference between us, And I will tell you what it is. Out yonder Under the skies men have a common saying : • ……………………………………….It's his dress and its cut that a Troll should be known by. If we're of one mind as to manners and costume.

  5. THE TAIL SOUNDS INTERESTINGThis section describes the elaborate tail; this is the most important part of the troll costume. • All's mountain-made; we've nothing from the valleys Except the bows of silk that deck our tail-tips. • PEER GYNT [angrily]. I haven't got a tail! • THE TROLL KING. Then you shall have one. [To one of the courtiers. See that my Sunday tail is fastened on him. • PEER GYNT. No, that he shan't! Do you want to make a fool of me? • THE TROLL KING. Don't try with tail-less rump to court my daughter. PEER GYNT. Making a beast of a man! • THE TROLL KING. My son, you're wrong there; I'd only make a courtly wooer of you. And, as a mark of very highest honour, The bow you wear shall be of bright flame-colour.

  6. The Trolls, are they nice or nasty? How does this image compare to what you think a Troll looks like? Look at the background, it’s dark but it still looks quite festive. What other elements has this artist used? Texture Colour Mood

  7. Interesting Digital Art, An Old Story in a Contemporary Context. Do you think that the artist has captured the mood of this meeting in The Hall of the Mountain King?

  8. WHAT DO OTHER ARTIST AND ILLUSTRATORS THINK THAT TROLLS LOOK LIKE? This one looks a bit sad and misunderstood. This one looks a bit grubby, with bad manners.
