| Summary | "Little Eyolf" by Henrik Ibsen is a dramatic play written during the late 19th century. The narrative centers around the Allmers family, particularly focusing on Alfred Allmers, his wife Rita, and their disabled son Eyolf. The story delves into themes of responsibility, egoism, and the complexities of familial relationships, exploring the challenges faced by the family as they navigate tragedy and grief. The opening of the play sets the stage by introducing the idyllic garden room of the Allmers household, where Mrs. Rita Allmers busily prepares for her husband Alfred's unexpected return from a trip. It quickly becomes clear that their son Eyolf is not just a child but a focal point of tension between them. As Alfred arrives, his demeanor reflects a thoughtful and somewhat distant character, while Rita's strong emotional responses hint at deeper issues within their marriage. The dynamic between Alfred, Rita, and Alfred's half-sister Asta introduces underlying tensions, and the mention of the mysterious "Rat-Wife" suggests an ominous foreboding. The scene establishes a somber tone, hinting that the play will explore the darker aspects of human nature and parental love. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
