Love's Comedy

Riassunto

"Love's Comedy" by Henrik Ibsen is a verse comedy first published in 1862. When idealistic poet Falk denounces bourgeois marriage as the death of true love, society brands him immoral and ostracizes him. But Svanhild admires his courage, and together they plan to escape convention and live their ideal. Can passionate love survive beyond its first flush, or must it be preserved untainted by refusing to let it fade into comfortable domesticity? Their surprising answer challenges everything they believe about romance and sacrifice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
