Interpretation Supposing Books Four Major Plays 1: A Doll House / The Wild Duck / Hedda Gabler / The Master Builder

Four Major Plays
Volume I
A Doll House
The Wild Duck
Hedda Gabler
The Master Builder

Among the greatest and best known of Ibsen’s works, these four plays brilliantly exemplify his landmark contributions to the theater: his realistic dialogue, probing of social problems, and depiction of characters’ inner lives as well as their actions. Rich in symbolism and often autobiographical, each of these dramas deals convincingly and provocatively with such universal themes as greed, fear, and sexual hostility, and confronts the eternal conflict between reality and illusion. These Rolf Fjelde translations have been widely acclaimed as the definitive versions of the major works of the father of modern theater.

Translated and with a Foreword by Rolf Fjelde
And an Afterword by Joan Templeton

Criticize Appertaining To Books Four Major Plays 1: A Doll House / The Wild Duck / Hedda Gabler / The Master Builder

Ugh. Again, don't know how many stars to give. I really liked the four of them although by the end I was growing a bit weary as the plots have some similitudes. Basically, the author introduces you to a 'normal' environment, usually a family, but you soon notice that things cringe a bit. And then arrives a disruptive element/character, who is usually a bit weird. I especially liked the first and second plays. The first because it's the story of how a women evolves from being a 'doll' (i.e.

Unhappy marriages, ill-advised scheming, unfulfilled expectations, and female characters well ahead of their (and Ibsen's) time drive all four of these plays. Hedda Gabler and A Doll House were my favorites by far; Hedda and Nora are far from likable, but their power, their dawning awareness, and their final scenes are stunning. The Master Builder treats the same themes but injects an extra dose of insanity into its characters and the play as a whole (not in a good way) and The Wild Duck is

Doll's House was great. Master Builder was good. Hedda Gabler disturbing and Wild Duck was not great.

I only read the first play in this book, A DollHouse, but i really like how at the end, nora takes matters into her own hands. I also really found intresting Nora's manner of reaction to when Torvald finds out about the debt and when the debt is recalled. She had this whole fantasy played out into her mind, and when it finally plays out it isn't what she imagined. So she decides to take off the metaphorical shades she's had on and see her situation for what it is. She also decides to go away to

Probably my 4 favorite plays by Ibsen. I haven't read Ibsen since high school, but I just loved him back then and I have 6 books of plays on my shelves, so I have decided to pull all my books and re-read 1 play each night, this month. This was a great start and it reminded of all the reasons I claimed him as my favorite author during my college interviews. A Dolls House and Hedda Gabler are most likely the 2 better know of this group, but dont skip The Master Builder or The Wild Duck, they are

The four plays in this book all deal with marital strife. This is a common theme of Ibsen's work so that is to be expected.My favourite of the four plays is "Enemy of the People," a play about Dr. Stockmann trying to do what he thinks is good for the people set against his brother, Mayor Stockmann, who is trying to do what he thinks is good for the people. It's a story driven by hidden agendas where even if someone is right, the audience doesn't particularly care for them because of their
