Ibsen’s Ghosts is a play about ethical rather than physical debility. Discuss.
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Ghosts is Henrik Ibsen’s effort to substitute the modern scientific concept of heredity for the Greek idea of fate. More important, it is a mordant attack on society and societal standards. In explicitly stating that these standards are responsible for Mrs. Alving’s tragedy, Ibsen inflamed even the liberal sensibilities of his day. The play can still be read as a study in what has come to be known as the science of semantics—the disruptive effect caused when words or concepts are, in society, divorced from the realities for which they are supposed to stand.
Answer:
Ibsen's Ghost, the current play, exemplifies his dramatic ability by incorporating both biological (heredity) and social components. Critics hail Ibsen as an exponent of reforming naturalism, praising the prose 'Ghosts,' which focuses on topics that are important to the average man. In his writing, Ibsen also used a naturalistic approach. His plays deal with eternal and fundamental facts of life, as well as difficult topics that Ibsen addresses, such as women's lights, the economic underpinning of middle-class marriage, and the theory of heredity, but they have a global appeal.
