Deceit, Family, and Justice in Ibsen’s Ghosts

Abstract
The aim of this article is to focus on Henrik Ibsen’s famous play, Ghosts. I would say
that Henrik Ibsen is one of the most powerful authors of the modern drama and his
plays are the most interesting and incredible ones as far as the modern drama is
concerned. But the important question is what the play can show us about
contemporary individuals, morality, and social reality. This article has variety answers
to this question and many other questions about the play. I try to consider the major
themes which are related with the intrinsic elements of the play and tackle them
through a discussion of the general aspects of the era. The major themes that the play
deals with are Lies and deceit, family, and justice. I think it is plain and clear that we
cannot dissociate any of the themes from the majority of the plays written throughout
the history of drama.
