A review by thewhimsicalowl
The Lady from the Sea by Henrik Ibsen
3.0
Lyngstrand: I think that marriage must be considered rather like a kind of miracle. The way a woman gradually comes to be more and more like her husband.
Bolette: Shares his interests, you mean?
L: Exactly!
B: Ah, but what about his abilities? And his talent? And skills? ...And the things a man acquires by reading and study—perhaps you think they too somehow pass over to his wife?
L: Yes, that too. Little by little. By a kind of miracle. Though I know this only happens in a marriage built on love and faith and genuine happiness.
B: Has it never occurred to you that a man might also be drawn closer to his wife somehow? Grow more like her, I mean.
L: A man? No, I never thought that.
B: But if the one, why not the other? —Act IV, pg 58
As in "A Doll's House," I enjoy the way Ibsen tackles feminist themes of women's will and freedom.
