Hello :) will you corect me please
- Contexte : Henrik Ibsen was one of the world's greatest dramatists.
- Ibsen lived from 1828 to 1906.
- An Enemy of the People, was written in 1882.
- Summary: Dr. Stockmann, who is the main character, has discovered that the new baths built in his town are infected with a deadly disease and instructs the town to repair or close the baths.
- The Mayor, who is Dr. Stockmann's brother, does not believe the report and refuses to close the baths because it will cause the financial ruin of the town.
- Dr. Stockmann tries to take his case to the people, but the mayor intercedes and explains to the people how much it will cost to repair the baths.
- He explains that the Doctor is always filled with wild, fanciful ideas.
- In a public meeting, he has his brother declared an enemy of the people.
- The doctor decides to leave the town, but at the last minute comes to the realization that he must stay and fight for the things he believes to be right.
- Analyse : As we saw, this play deals with the extent to which individual desires are compromised by society.
- In particular, the play focuses on the ways in which an individual can be ostracised by the society.
- The problems of the play's hero, Dr. Stockmann, are not far removed from the problems Ibsen experienced after the publication of his first book.
- In a letter written around the time of the play's composition, Ibsen noted: "Dr.
- Stockmann and I got on excellently together; we agree on so many subjects."
