The Tension Between Illusion and Reality in H. Ibsen's the Wild Duck
Global Journal of HUMAN-SOCIAL SCIENCE: A Arts & Humanities - Psychology Volume 19 Issue 8 Version 1.0 Year 2019 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X The Tension between Illusion and Reality in H. Ibsen’s The Wild Duck By Dr. Mahmoud Nayef Baroud Islamic University of Gaza Abstract- Much of contemporary criticism of Ibsen plays has examined one of two concerns: Ibsen and Feminism, or Ibsen as a realist and a pioneer of modern theatre and drama. Articles on the first matter are often critical of universalizing readings of Ibsen that would have the dramatist concerned with the ills of humanity; articles on the latter theme tend to rejoice Ibsen’s assumed anti-theatrical overcoming of melodrama. Both topics can be found in his masterpiece The Wild Duck which is more honoured and received well in the study more than the other plays. Like Hamlet, The Wild Duck can be interpreted by each one in his own image; one day it will be read as a tragedy or tragicomedy, the next as the harshest irony; parts of it are clumsy, in other parts are embedded old controversies of that time. So searching yet so delicate is the touch, that these flaws and notions seem in themselves to strengthen the play. In this work, Ibsen perfected his own special power to infuse the particular, dull, limited fact with a halo and a glory. This paper is an attempt to examine the tension between illusion and reality in the play.

A Doll's House Is a Manifesto of Universal Feminism
IRWLE VOL. 11 No. I January 2015 1 Re-interpreting A Doll’s House through Post-modernist Feminist Projections Md. Amir Hossain For long centuries, women in the traditional social order and system have always been considered subservient to men. In patriarchal Bourgeois society, the matriarchal community has been "humiliated", "afflicted", "silenced" and "tortured" socially, politically, culturally and economically. With the post-modernizing age, women began to see the universe with their own eyes and not through the male gaze. In this paper, I want to focus on the powerful woman character, Nora Helmer as impacted on Ibsen’s A Doll’s House. Through this adventurous and revolutionary woman, my purpose is to reach the feministic message out to the post-modern generations. It aims to depict and examine critically feministic issues through portraying Nora Helmer who is the representative of not only the 19th century Scandinavian Bourgeois order and custom but also the universal feminism. She has raised a fiery voice or initiated a dreadful revolution against the traditional customs and gender discrimination with a view to equalizing human rights. In the play, the dramatist has prioritized the female domination and power more than the male pelf and rule. The aim of the playwright is to emphasize upon the female power with a view to repressing the male domination and tradition. Actually, the purpose of my paper is to focus on the feminist message as articulated in Ibsen’s A Doll’s House. Considering the femme fatale character of Ibsen, the most renowned and powerful playwright, also known as the father figure of the post-modern era writing in Norwegian language, especially the powerful and domineering female protagonist cum heroine, Nora Helmer.

Henrik Ibsen, with the exception of Shakespeare, is the most frequently produced playwright in the world. He is also universally known as "The Father of Modern Drama" and "The Father of Realistic Drama." For over a century and a half, Ibsen's plays have been renowned for displaying a fierce revolt by the individual against an oppressive middle-class society.

Heredity a Revisited Theme in Henrik Ibsen's 'A Doll House' & 'Ghosts'
Journal of English Language and Literature Volume 11 No. 2 April 2019 Heredity a Revisited Theme in Henrik Ibsen’s ‘A Doll House’ & ‘Ghosts’ Hidaya Ibrahim Hashim Ismail1, Hala Salih Mohammed Nur2 1Ph.D. Student, Sudan University for Science and Technology/Khartoum Sudan 2Associate Professor, University of Khartoum/Khartoum/Sudan Abstract- The aim of this paper is mainly focused through the quotation ‘sins of the father are visited upon the son’ the researchers used the critical analytical method to highlight the theme of heredity in Ibsen selected plays. The analysis of the theme showed that the heredity is not only portrayed in the plays but it has traces from his personal life. The fear of becoming like his father very much influences the theme of heredity in the plays. The paper also attempts to link the inheritance theme to the Ibsen’s life. The researchers focused on the Naturalism movement as ground for the reading of the influence it had on the author and its clear significance into the following events of the plays. Light is shed upon the saying ‘sins of the father’s’ for its clear relation to Oswald state. Keywords- Heredity; Ibsen; Naturalism; Sins of the father’s 1. INTRODUCTION Bearing in mind the Poet’s own admission that everything he wrote about he had lived through. The infatuation with this ‘saying’ was how this paper came to be conceptualized.

Critical and Popular Reaction to Ibsen in England: 1872-1906 by Tracy Cecile Davis Thesis supervisors: Dr. Richard Beacham Prof. Michael R. Booth Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University of Warwick, Department of Theatre Studies. August, 1984. ABSTRACT This study of Ibsen in England is divided into three sections. The first section chronicles Ibsen-related events between 1872, when his work was first introduced to a Briton, and 1888, when growing interest in the 'higher drama' culminated in a truly popular edition of three of Ibsen's plays. During these early years, knowledge about and appreciation of Ibsen's work was limited to a fairly small number of intellectuals and critics. A matinee performance in 1880 attracted praise, but successive productions were bowdlerized adaptations. Until 1889, when the British professional premiere of A Doll's House set all of London talking, the lack of interest among actors and producers placed the responsibility for eliciting interest in Ibsen on translators, lecturers, and essayists. The controversy initiated by A Doll's House was intensified in 1891, the so-called Ibsen Year, when six productions, numerous new translations, debates, lectures, published and acted parodies, and countless articles considered the value and desirability of Ibsen's startling modern plays.

Henrik Ibsen's Master Builder and Thomas Mann's Death 1N Venice
DAVID BRONSEN THE ARTIST AGAINST HIMSELF: HENRIK IBSEN'S MASTER BUILDER AND THOMAS MANN'S DEATH 1N VENICE When Henrik Ibsen's drama The Master Builder was publish- ed in 1892, almost simultaneously with its English, French and German translations, it was welcomed by the critics with close to universal acclaim as a work of great literary merit. Despite its positive reception, however, it was greeted with widespread bafflement regarding its meaning. In the words of a contem- porary, "'While one person sees Solness as Ibsen himself, another sees him as Bjornson, a third as a symbol of the right- wing party, a fourth as a symbol of the left and its leader, a fifth sees Solness as a symbol of Man rising in rebellion against God; a sixth sees the play as a conflict between youth and the older generation.' Some sought to identify Solness with Bismarck, while the Saturday Review in London decided that he was meant as a portrait of Mr. Gladstone, and that the play was full of references to the Irish question. ''1 It is significant, in view of this general lack of comprehension, that Thomas Mann, who first read the play a year after its publi- cation at eighteen years of age, immediately grasped its meaning and wrote a critique of it in which he described Solness' fate as a statement of the failure of aestheticism as an exclusive orienta- tion to life. ~ Two decades later, in 1912, Thomas Mann publish- ed his novella, Death in Venice, a major work dealing with a similar theme.

Spectres of Duty. Silence in Ibsen's Ghosts
Orbis Litterarum 64:1 50–74, 2009 Printed in Singapore. All rights reserved Spectres of Duty Silence in Ibsen’s Ghosts Dimitris Vardoulakis, University of Western Sydney The article considers Ibsen’s Ghosts through the figure of duty. The two main characters embody different notions of duty. Pastor Manders’s position is a religious one and Mrs Alving’s a political one, but neither can stand on its own. They both infringe upon, and contaminate, each other. This process of self-contamination, which silence sets in motion, leads to an alternative understanding of duty as well as of the political. Keywords: Henrik Ibsen, Ghosts, duty, political theology, auto-immunity, silence. But the auto-immunitary haunts the community and its system of immunitary survival like the hyperbole of its own possibility. Nothing in common, nothing immune, safe and sound, heilig and holy, nothing unscathed in the most autonomous living present without a risk of auto-immunity. Jacques Derrida, ‘Faith and knowledge’, chap. 37 I. Duties The action of Henrik Ibsen’s Ghosts (1881) spans less than twenty-four hours.1 Mrs Alving is preparing to inaugurate an orphanage in memory of her dead husband. Her son, Oswald, has returned from abroad for the occasion. This is only the second time Oswald is back in Norway since he was sent away as a young boy. The opening as well as the running of the orphanage is entrusted to Pastor Manders, an old friend who also arrives for the occasion. Much of the first act is taken up by a conversation between Mrs Alving and Pastor Manders about marital duty and maternal responsibilities.

Ghosts: What to Expect • Ghosts Was Written by Norwegian Playwright
Ghosts: What to Expect Ghosts was written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen in 1881 and premiered in Chicago in 1882. This production of Ghosts opened at Belvoir on Wednesday 18 September 2017 and is directed by Belvoir’s Artistic Director Eamon Flack who also adapted the script for this production. The production runs for approximately 1 hour 45 minutes with no interval. The play is set in 1881 and this production remains faithful to the period. The play contains three acts which take place within twenty four hours. All of the action takes place in the one location: a large garden room in Mrs Alving’s estate by a large fjord in western Norway. There are five actors in the production who each perform one role. The actors wear period costumes which have been handmade for this production. The set features furniture and set pieces from the period, including a dining room table inspired by a photo of a table in Ibsen’s house. The set has a light white wash across it. At the play’s opening Helene Alving is preparing to host the grand opening of a new orphanage she has had built in memory of her late husband, Captain Alving. The Captain was a widely respected member of the community. Mrs Alving has always concealed the truth about her unhappy marriage and her late husband’s true nature. To protect her son from his father’s influence, Mrs Alving sent her son Osvald abroad at a young age. Osvald, now in his mid-twenties, has returned home after living as an artist in France.
