| Summary |
"L'anitra selvatica" by Henrik Ibsen is a play written in the late 19th century. This drama explores complex themes of reality, deception, and the consequences of one's choices through the lives of its characters. Central to the narrative are Gregorio Werle, whose return home sets the stage for unraveling tangled relationships, and the Ekdal family, particularly the troubled photographer Erminio Ekdal and his father, the old Ekdal, as they navigate their difficult realities. The opening of the play introduces us to a formal dinner at the home of Werle, with various guests present, including Gregorio Werle, who has just returned home after many years. Conversations among the characters reveal underlying tensions and the history between the Werle and Ekdal families, including Erminio's awkward encounters with Gregorio and discussions of their past connections. The scenes shift between the elegant dining setting and the more modest world of Erminio and his family, establishing a contrast that suggests deeper themes around privilege, shame, and the notion of truth as part of one's perception of reality. As the plot unfolds, it hints at tensions stemming from personal histories and societal expectations, setting the stage for the dilemmas each character will face.
