Vildanden by Henrik Ibsen
"Vildanden" by Henrik Ibsen is a play written in 1884. It explores the dangerous collision between truth and illusion when idealist Gregers Werle intrudes upon the Ekdal family's fragile domestic peace. Determined to expose long-buried secrets about betrayal and deception, Gregers shatters their carefully constructed world. The family harbors a wounded wild duck in their attic—a symbol of their own hidden wounds. As painful truths emerge about affairs, paternity, and failed dreams,
the consequences grow increasingly tragic in this pioneering work of tragicomedy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
