About this book
In the late 19th century, Henrik Ibsen penned "The Wild Duck," a poignant drama that delves into the complexities of family dynamics and the fragile nature of truth. Set against the backdrop of societal expectations, the narrative centers on Hjalmar Ekdal, whose life is intricately woven with the lives of his wife, Gina, and their daughter, Hedvig. The play masterfully explores themes of illusion and reality, embodied in the symbol of the wild duck—a creature representing both hope and despair. Ideal for students and theater enthusiasts, "The Wild Duck" invites readers to confront the moral dilemmas faced by its characters, challenging them to reflect on the often-painful intersections of love, sacrifice, and self-deception.
