The Father of the Modern Drama, Henrik Ibsen,
is known for deep psychological insights into
his characters. However, some of his plays (and
other writings) also focus on environmental
issues. These issues have mostly been
overlooked. In this presentation, Ibsen's
concern with the environment will be
explored.
