Answer a minimum of TWO questions from the list below.
Reflection questions, Berlioz’s program to Symphony Fantastique:
- How do you feel about gender roles in this story? Is the female ever given a voice or a sense of freewill? How is she portrayed? How does that impact the story?
- In Scene in the Fields, what causes the artist to suddenly change his emotions? Can you relate to this at all? Does this seem “normal” to you?
- How does the artist’s vision of his idee fixe change over the course of the story? In other words, how does she look different to him at the beginning, vs. at the end? What does this say about the nature of love? Can you relate?
- What are some ways that you feel Berlioz might have done a better job of managing his emotions? Do you feel he is “wrong” to indulge in his emotions in this way? Can you relate to him? Can you learn anything from him?
