Character, Conflict, And Meaning In The Wild Duck
View through CrossRef
WHEN A PLAY IS WIDELY ACCLAIMED as a masterpiece by critics who disagree radically about its nature and meaning, it may be that the work possesses such richness of content, such poetic density, that critics are unable to comprehend its totality; it may be that it contains an element so alien to conventional notions that they are unwilling to follow where the playwright's vision has led. The critical confusion generated by Henrik Ibsen's The Wild Duck since it was first published in 1884 suggests that sometimes both elements are involved.
