Brietzke Zander - Action And Consequence In Ibsen Chekhov And Strindberg - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Henrik Ibsen Anton Chekhov and August Strindberg - - innovators of modern drama - - created characters whose reckless pursuits of irrational objectives blind them to better options. Ibsen's protagonists in A Doll's House Hedda Gabler and The Master Builder try to bend the world to conform to their personal visions - - with disastrous results. Chekhov's characters refuse to do anything instead dramatizing their lives as if they were actors in a play (which they are). Rehearsing the intractable squabbles between men and women in The Dance of Death and The Ghost Sonata Strindberg suggests that only in life beyond death can humanity transcend the brutality of existence. Together the lives of these characters offer a study of the individual's struggle with modernity.
