TY - JOUR AU - Lysell, Roland PY - 2015/02/20 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - Little Eyolf and dramatic tradition JF - Nordlit JA - Nordlit VL - 0 IS - 34 SE - Articles DO - 10.7557/13.3362 UR - https://septentrio.uit.no/index.php/nordlit/article/view/3362 SP - 161–170 AB - <p>The article criticises an Ibsen tradition who has seen the last scene of <em>Little Eyolf</em> as a reconciliation. Instead, the article discusses the improbability of a happy marriage characterised by social engagement. The play is open but it is hardly probable that Rita, with her erotic desire, and Allmers, whose desire has turned into metaphysics, can be happy together. The arguments refer to inner criteria and the constantly present dramatic tradition. </p> ER -
