| Summary | "The Collected Works of Henrik Ibsen, Vol. 09" by Henrik Ibsen is a collection of plays, including "Rosmersholm" and "The Lady from the Sea," created during the late 19th century. This volume captures Ibsen's exploration of complex human relationships, societal norms, and psychological depths through its rich characters and intricate storylines. A significant theme revolves around individual emancipation and moral dilemmas within the context of a changing society. The opening portion of "Rosmersholm" introduces us to the titular character, Johannes Rosmer, a former clergyman living in his ancestral home, where past tragedies continue to haunt him. We meet Rebecca West, who manages Rosmer's household, and Rector Kroll, Rosmer's brother-in-law, who brings political tensions to the fore. A sense of foreboding is established as the characters reflect on the lingering impact of death on their lives and community. As discussions unfold, they touch on themes of loyalty, societal change, and the ghosts of their pasts, hinting at the conflicts to come as Rosmer grapples with his ideological awakening and the implications of his relationships with Rebecca and Kroll.
