It explores the complexities of truth and illusion through the story of a family torn apart by secrets and the intrusion of an idealistic outsider. It focuses on the Ekdal family, whose fragile peace is shattered by Gregers Werle, an idealist who insists on exposing hidden truths, leading to tragic consequences. The play was written in a realistic style, but literary scholars have pointed out the play's kinship with symbolism.

Themes of visibility and recognition permeate the narrative, featuring characters ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
