’Ghosts: A Domestic Tragedy in Three Acts’ by Henrik Ibsen is a powerful and controversial drama that explores the dark secrets hidden beneath the facade of respectability in a small Norwegian town. The play centers around Helene Alving, a widow who is preparing to dedicate an orphanage in memory of her late husband, Captain Alving.
As Helene grapples with her own guilt and the specter of her husband’s infidelity, long-buried truths come to light, exposing the hypocrisy and moral decay of the society around her. Her son, Oswald, returns home from Paris, bringing with him a sense of impending doom as he struggles with his own demons.
Ibsen’s uncompromising critique of societal norms and moral hypocrisy is evident throughout 'Ghosts, ’ as he navigates themes of inheritance, sexual morality, and the consequences of repression. Through richly drawn characters and powerful dialogue, Ibsen invites readers to confront uncomfortable truths about the human condition and the nature of truth itself.
This English translation of Ibsen’s classic work captures the intensity and emotional depth of the original Norwegian text, offering readers a thought-provoking exploration of the darkness that lurks beneath the surface of polite society. 'Ghosts’ remains a timeless masterpiece that continues to challenge and provoke audiences around the world.
