thematically rich play. "And we are, all of us, so pitifully afraid of the light."

It's interesting how Ibsen creates women who are free thinkers. They're controversial and independent. I'm not a fan of all the beating around the bush that all the characters do. Even when the truth is revealed, it's not really said outright. Mrs. Alving is incredibly admirable for everything she's done for Oswald, even if he doesn't really see it. Manders is just a self-righteous ass.

Short and punchy.  An interesting slice of life that leaves you thinking long after you're done reading it.
