Ghosts

More about the book

The play explores the tragic life of Helen Alving, a widow grappling with the legacy of her unfaithful husband. As she seeks to protect her son Oswald from his father's immoral influence, she discovers he suffers from syphilis and is in love with Regina, his half-sister. The narrative delves into heavy themes of duty, societal morals, and the consequences of past actions, culminating in Oswald's heartbreaking request for assistance in ending his life. Ibsen's work remains a powerful critique of Victorian values and continues to resonate today.
