Ghosts by Henrik Ibsen
3.0

comparing it to [b:A Doll's House|37793|A Doll's House|Henrik Ibsen|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1427119396l/37793._SY75_.jpg|10535173] (another of henrik ibsen's works which i happened to read right before this), i found myself a bit less drawn to this play - perhaps because its much darker than i initially expected, or because i was attached to the characters a little less, just as there were fewer lines that really hit me throughout the play. however, i do think that this play would be a lot better expressed visually, so it may be worth a shot watching the film instead.

but, on positives, if there's one thing i now associate henrik ibsen with, it's his immaculate symbolism. from what i've read so far, i think that it is his speciality and the crux of his work. the title of this play, 'ghosts', ended up being such a significant part of the story & i think that the symbolism here was executed brilliantly.
