DRAMA Fourth Year THE WILD DUCK By Henrik
DRAMA Fourth Year
THE WILD DUCK By Henrik Ibsen
THE WILD DUCK The Wild Duck as a controversial play; its themes, a domestic play, or a program of reform. The play as a satirical tragedy. The play’s round characters. Its theatricality; techniques and language. The play as an outbreak against the Victorian drama. The Wild Duck as a well-made play. Henrik Ibsen's accomplishment in the European theatre.
HENRIK IBSEN'S ACCOMPLISHMENT TO THE EUROPEAN THEATRE Affinities and discontinuities with dramatists like William Shakespeare. other preceding His drama, paradoxically, bears some touch of universality attributed to Shakespeare's romantic tragedy with dated Victorian realism. Despite the way his classical tragedies were, apparently, different from Shakespeare's romantic tragedy. They both share the same profundity of vision and their brilliant delineation of round characters.
Along with Eugène Scribe, it was the French dramatist Victorien Sardou who impacted Ibsen's drama to be praised for his development, along with them, of the wellmade play. His revolutionary choice for the settings of his satirical tragedy manifesting the drawing room setting of the satirical comedy. His attack on the material aspirations of the middle class audience.
