Summary "The Collected Works of Henrik Ibsen, Vol. 01 (of 11)" by Henrik Ibsen is a collection of dramatic works written in the late 19th century. This volume includes three plays: "Lady Inger of Östråt," "The Feast at Solhoug," and "Love's Comedy." These works explore intricate themes of power dynamics, societal norms, and personal struggles, with characters that navigate the complexities of love, ambition, and familial duty. At the start of "Lady Inger of Östråt," the stage is set in the dramatic backdrop of Norway in 1528, where Lady Inger is at the center of an impending conflict. We find her receiving guests and grappling with a sense of national degradation under Danish rule, exemplified through the discussions among her servants and peasants about rising against their oppressors. The opening introduces tensions surrounding Lady Inger’s ambitions for her family and her struggles with the looming threats posed by the political landscape. The scene is charged with emotions as Elina, her daughter, reflects on the weight of their heritage and the sacrifices made for power, setting the foundation for the intricate relationships and moral dilemmas that will unfold throughout the play.
