Lady From the Sea

Lady From the Sea

Henrik Ibsen

Written in 1888 by Henrik Ibsen, 'The Lady from the Sea' is a play that centers on Ellida Wangel, a woman torn between her stable life as a wife and stepmother and her longing for freedom represented by a man from her past. As she grapples with her feelings of confinement, the return of her former lover forces her to confront her desires and the choice between safety and the allure of the sea. This drama explores themes of identity, choice, and the struggle for personal autonomy.
