Ibsen's Characters are Victims of Society's Expectations The writer Henrik Ibsen once expressed, Do you know what we are those of us who consider mainstays of society? We are societys devices, neither more nor less. Ibsen was an extraordinary enemy of optimistic essayist of the mid to late nineteenth century. His plays were of another variety, influencing endlessly from the healthiness of the Victorian time, and rather assaulting individual issues that he, and every one of those in his local Norway could identify with. This new composing style helped coin Ibsen as the dad of present day dramatization. These cutting edge shows were genuine, and the characters Ibsen made were in certainty devices of society. Ibsen utilizes Halvard and Aline Solness of The Master Builder and Regine Engstrand and Mrs. Helene Alving of Ghosts to show how society's capacity to adjust contrarily impacts others. Ibsen's characters in The Master Builder and Ghosts are survivors of a hopeful society's unreasonable desires.
