The Limitations of Henrik Ibsen's Protagonists (Paperback)

This book chiefly intends to explore the social, biological and psychological limitations realized in Ibsen's plays that not only end the pleasures of life but also bring his characters to the state of 'nonbeing' (meaningless existence). Subsequently, this state of 'nonbeing' drives Ibsen's characters to drastic and desperate actions. They are filled with frights and terrors, become rebellious, undertake extreme steps, which not only ruin their own lives but others as well. They either commit suicide or induce others to do so.
