Ghosts - Henrik Ibsen
Descriere
The sins of the past are at the heart of the play, whose haunted heroine, Mrs. Helen Alving, has accepted her pastors counsel and endured her husbands many infidelities in silence. Ten years after Alvings death, she is to dedicate an orphanage in his memory. Her son Oswald, kept innocent of his fathers profligacy, returns home for the dedication. Oswalds attraction to the housemaid -- in reality, his half-sister -- conjures up the ghost of his parents unhappy marriage. This disastrous romance, along with Oswalds increasing symptoms of the venereal disease inherited from his father, force Mrs. Alving to confront her own "ghosts."
A powerful and engrossing psychological drama, Ghosts serves as an excellent entrée to Ibsens other works and helps confirm his status as "the father of modern drama."
