  • Elsa Bernstein's Dämmerung and the Long Shadow of Henrik Ibsen
    Birkbeck College University of London MA in Modern German Studies Elsa Bernstein’s Dämmerung and the long shadow of Henrik Ibsen Manfred Pagel Assessed essay (4000 words): April 2006 Core Course: History in German Literature Course Co-ordinator: Dr Anna Richards M. Pagel Introduction Nomen est omen. When the young Elsa Bernstein (1866-1949) decided to adopt a male pseudonym at an early stage of her writing career, as many women authors did in the late 19th century, she chose one that made an unmistakable allusion to the contemporary Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906). Her assumed nom de plume of “Ernst Rosmer” an “audible echo of Ibsen”1, clearly owed its invention to his play Rosmersholm2. In this way she signalled her literary affinity with the dominant themes and style (described as Naturalism) favoured by Ibsen during the 1880s and 1890s, when he was establishing his enduring reputation as a masterful writer of social drama. The pen-name, Susanne Kord writes, “defined her as a disciple of one of the major playwrights of her time and simultaneously allied her with the German naturalist movement, which was centrally indebted to Ibsen’s dramatic work”3. Bernstein’s five-act play Dämmerung4, originally published in 1893, will serve here as reference text in an attempt to explore some aspects of her subject matter and treatment that may be at least partly attributable to Ibsen’s influence. The characterisation of the two main female roles, in particular, will be considered because the evolving position of women in modern society and the related issue of feminist emancipation from traditional bourgeois constraints formed a recurring topic in Ibsen’s plays, such as A Doll’s House5, Hedda Gabler6, and Little Eyolf7.

  • 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.

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. Specifically, A Doll's House has been a trailblazer for women's liberation and feminist causes around the world. Portrait of Henrik Ibsen. Photograph by Gustav Borgen .

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.

  • Existential Crisis: the Wild Duck by Henrik Ibsen
    Academic Research International Vol. 9(3) September 2018 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Existential Crisis: The Wild Duck by Henrik Ibsen Haafza Sonia Akhtar, Danish Farman, Sidra Abdul Ghani, Hina Ashraf Department of Language & Literature, University of Lahore, PAKISTAN. [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT This research interpreted The Wild Duck by Henrik Ibsen under the perspective of existential crisis in almost all the major characters of play. Researcher made an effort to culminate all the problems, agony and extreme poignant which they are facing due to their existence. Characters analysis can be further studied under the main postulates of Existential Philosophy by Kierkegaard and Albert Camus, and these philosophical views arouse some questions related to existential crisis in the play The Wild Duck. It puts a question about complex issue of human existence and their identity in the world. There is another question; is suicide necessary to end up the long lasting struggle of human existence in the world? Hedvig and its suicide, a reading in comparison to ‘The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus’ Keywords: Existential, struggle, suicide INTRODUCTION The Wild Duck is written by Henrik Ibsen in 1884, one of Ibsen’s later plays. After receiving much disagreement and a lot of discussion it has been recognized universally as one of the greatest modern dramatic work. The Wild Duck is “generally acknowledged as one of Ibsen’s greatest play” (Moi, Toril. , 2006). LITERATURE REVIEW Henrik Ibsen a Norwegian playwright was an iconoclast, against the traditions and social factors that shape human lives. Infect he is the supporter of individualism.

    A-LEVEL Drama and Theatre 7262/W – Component 1: Drama and Theatre Mark scheme 7262 June 2018 Version/Stage: 1.0 Final Mark schemes are prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer and considered, together with the relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the standardisation events which all associates participate in and is the scheme which was used by them in this examination. The standardisation process ensures that the mark scheme covers the students’ responses to questions and that every associate understands and applies it in the same correct way. As preparation for standardisation each associate analyses a number of students’ scripts. Alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed and legislated for. If, after the standardisation process, associates encounter unusual answers which have not been raised they are required to refer these to the Lead Assessment Writer. It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and expanded on the basis of students’ reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future mark schemes on the basis of one year’s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular examination paper.
