Publisher Description
In "The Pillars of Society," Ibsen presents a scathing examination of the moral decay inherent in a society built upon hypocrisy and deception. As the facade of respectability crumbles, the characters are forced to confront uncomfortable truths about themselves and the society they inhabit. Through the lens of Consul Bernick's unraveling web of lies, readers are compelled to confront the consequences of prioritizing social standing over personal integrity.
With its searing indictment of the pillars upon which society rests, Ibsen's play remains as relevant today as it was when first penned. "The Pillars of Society" serves as a cautionary tale, challenging readers to question the foundations upon which their own lives are built and to consider the true cost of sacrificing honesty and authenticity for the sake of societal acceptance. In this timeless work, Ibsen invites readers to reflect on the nature of morality and the role each individual plays in upholding—or dismantling—the pillars of society.

About Henrik Ibsen
Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906) was a major nineteenth-century Norwegian playwright, theater director, and poet. He is often referred to as “the father of prose drama” and is one of the founders of modernism in the theater. His major works include Brand, Peer Gynt, An Enemy of the People, Emperor and Galilean, A Doll’s House, Ghosts, The Wild Duck, and The Master Builder. Several of his plays were considered scandalous to many of his era, when European theater was required to model strict mores of family life and propriety. Ibsen’s work examined the realities that lay behind many façades, revealing much that was disquieting to many contemporaries. It utilized a critical eye and free inquiry into the conditions of life and issues of morality.
