Ghosts

Description

Ghosts or Gengangere in Norwegian is a drama composed in 1881 and first performed in 1882 in Chicago, Illinois, in the making by a Danish company while traveling. Like several of the playwright’s dramas, Ghosts is a sarcastic remark on 19th century ethics. The reason of its theme, such as spirituality, venereal disorders, incest and mercy killing, it suddenly produced heavy argument and adverse judgment. From then the drama has did better, and is regarded as a “great play” that traditionally gets a position of “immense importance”.

Henrik Johan Ibsen was an influential 19th century Norwegian dramatist, theatre director, and poet. He is frequently known as “the father of realism” and is among the founders of Modernism in theatre. His most important works of art are Brand, Peer Gynt, An Enemy of the People, Emperor and Galilean, A Doll’s House, Hedda Gabler, Ghosts, The Wild Duck, When We Dead Awaken, Pillars of Society, The Lady from the Sea, Rosmersholm, The Master Builder, and John Gabriel Borkman. He is the very often staged playwright in the world next to Shakespeare, and by the beginning of 20th century A Doll’s House was the world’s greatly staged drama.

A number of his later plays were believed to be outrageous to some of his time, when European stage was required to follow stern values of family life and propriety. Henrik’s after works studied the truths that form in several frontages, displaying more that was disturbing to several contemporaries. It used an analytical eye and free query into the situations of life and problems of ethics. The lyrical and movielike early drama Peer Gynt, nonetheless, has intense and unreal rudiments.

Henrik is frequently numbered as among the highly notable dramatists in the European tradition. Richard Hornby defines him as “a profound poetic dramatist-the best since Shakespeare”.
