Opis

Excerpt from Love's Comedy The novel anticipated the play in its vigorous attack upon the current usages of courtship and marriage. But Fru Collet's quarrel with them rested on wholly different grounds. With her, the trouble lay in the restrictions imposed by social usage upon the free course of love. She pleaded for the right of woman to bestow her heart where she would. She belonged, in fact, to a mild variety of the revolutionary Romantic for whom love is the sole condition of happiness and outward control the only source of danger to love. Marriage for love was her last word. For Ibsen, as we have seen, this was the very disease to be combated. He derided the ceremonious conventionalities of fashionable love-making as trenchantly as she; not, however, because they suppressed or constrained love, but because they gave it organised expression and definite form. At bottom, his position was not so much the antithesis of hers, as its extreme development He too is a revolutionary Romantic, whose last words are emancipation and love. Only, his "emancipation" of love is so transcendent as to threaten to "emancipate" it from the very conditions of its material existence. His freedom is only fulfilled when the captive is delivered from the thraldom of blood and breath; when it escapes the "prison of the actual," and dies that it may live. In his interesting introduction to this play in the German edition of Ibsen's works (Berlin: Fischer, 1899), George Brandes, who first discussed its relation to Fru Collet's novel, has criticised the dénoument with much severity. Falk and Svanhild part because they have not confidence that their love will last, if they marry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
