About This Book

The collection presents three dramatic pieces that interrogate human desire, conviction, and identity through contrasting modes. One play uses witty verse and social scenes to satirize romantic idealism and the pressures of conventional courtship. Another turns to austere moral argument and intense personal crises to examine the cost of absolute principles when they collide with communal life. The third unfolds as a lyrical, episodic journey that blends fantastical encounters and introspective reflection to trace an individual's search for meaning and selfhood. Together they range from satirical comedy to tragic moral drama and expansive poetic fantasy, mixing dialogue, monologue, and dramatic tableaux.

About the Author

Ibsen, Henrik portrait

Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) was a Norwegian playwright and poet, often regarded as the father of modern drama. His works challenged the conventions of 19th-century theatre and explored complex social issues, particularly concerning morality, gender roles, and individual freedom. Ibsen is best known for his groundbreaking play "A Doll's House," which critiques the limitations placed on women in society. Other notable works include "Ghosts," which addresses themes of heredity and societal hypocrisy, and "Hedda Gabler," a study of a woman's struggle against societal expectations. Ibsen's influence extends beyond his time, shaping contemporary theatre and inspiring countless playwrights.
