Ghosts
By:
- Synopsis
- Mrs. Alving is building an orphanage as a memorial to her husband, and her son Oswald has returned for the occasion after many years abroad. The sins of the father are visited upon the unfortunate Oswald, however, and what unfolds is a staggering tale involving religion, venereal disease, incest and euthanasia. Like many of Ibsen's plays, Ghosts is a scathing commentary on 19th-century morality. Because of its subject matter, it immediately generated strong controversy and negative criticism. Since then the play has fared better, and is considered a great play that historically holds a position of immense importance.
