Abstract Much has been written about Henrik Ibsen and Arthur Miller as social playwrights, which led some to accuse them of being radicals who sought to upset the stability of society. In addition, some critics go to the extent of considering Ibsen to have become outmoded, simly because the problem he tackles in his plays, in their opinion, have nothing to do with our own age. This idea for instance, was expressed by Brecht who thought that Ibsen’s Ghosts had become obsolete thought the discovery of Salvarsan as a remedy aganist syphillis(Esslin, P.72). |
