"Mother, give me the sun."
"I’m timid and frightened because I can never really be free of the ghosts that haunt me. I’m haunted by ghosts...But I’m inclined to think that we’re all ghosts, Pastor Manders; it’s not only the things that we’ve inherited from our fathers and mothers that live on in us, but all sorts of old dead ideas and old dead beliefs, and things of that sort. They’re not actually alive in us, but they’re rooted there all the same, and we can’t rid ourselves of them. I’ve only to pick up a newspaper, and when I read it I seem to see ghosts gliding between the lines. I should think there must be ghosts all over the lines. I should think there must be ghosts all over the country— as countless as grains of sand . And we are, all of us, so pitifully afraid of the light."
Brilliant play!

Not exactly the most gripping tale but would have been understandably controversial at the time of its first performances.
This short, Oedipus-like play would have been perfect if Mander's messy and boring ass had fewer lines.

i kind of don't know how i feel about this one, hence no star rating; i definitely preferred doll's house and enemy of the people to this. this play felt like its potential wasn't fully realised. probably would be more interesting to see on stage, though. either of the women would be very fun to play!
