Author: Ibsen, Henrik

Description:
The action of the play occurs in the home of Halvard Solness, a middle-aged architect who has clawed his way to prominence. His single-minded focus on his job, however, has hardened him and prevented him and his wife Aline from having a meaningful private life. The costs of Solness’s ambition are also symbolized in Solness’s assistant, Knut Brovik, Solness’s former employer whom he “scalped” to reach the top.
