Ghosts

Henrik Ibsen’s Ghosts is a powerful and controversial drama that explores the dark secrets lurking beneath the surface of a respectable family. The play centers on Mrs. Alving, a widow who struggles to come to terms with her late husband’s debauched life and the consequences his actions have on their son, Oswald. As the family’s dark past unravels, Ghosts examines themes of inheritance, morality, and the inescapable nature of sin. With its searing social critique and bold exploration of taboo topics, Ghosts remains one of Ibsen’s most enduring and thought-provoking works, offering a sharp commentary on the hypocrisies of society and the legacy of guilt.
