| Summary | "An Enemy of the People" by Henrik Ibsen is a play in five acts written during the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around Dr. Thomas Stockmann, the medical officer of a coastal town's Baths, who discovers that the water supply is contaminated and poses a serious health risk. The play explores themes of truth, integrity, and the conflict between personal conviction and public opinion. At the start of the play, we are introduced to Dr. Stockmann in his home, where he shares a meal with his family and friends, showcasing a lively domestic scene. Through conversations with various characters, including his brother Peter, the Mayor, and local journalists Hovstad and Billing, the audience learns about the significance of the Baths to the town’s economy and the looming scandal surrounding them. The doctor has sent a letter to the university to confirm his suspicions about the water quality. The excitement builds as he anticipates the results that could profoundly impact the community, setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation over the ethics of public health versus local interests.
