"A Doll's House" portrays a woman questioning her duty to her husband and seeking to escape from the stifling confines of her marriage - a theme that shocked contemporary audiences and established Ibsen's name outside Scandinavia. In "The League of Youth", his first prose drama, Ibsen created a vivid comedy about a hypocritical politician, and in "The Lady From the Sea" he depicts a woman who longs for the life she enjoyed by the sea before she was married. *** Quantity Available: 1.
