Little Eyolf

Henrik Ibsen

Translated by William Archer

Henrik Ibsen's 1894 play *Little Eyolf* centers on the Allmers family, consisting of Alfred, his wife Rita, their disabled son Eyolf, and Alfred's sister Asta. Following Alfred's return from a mountain trip, he decides to prioritize his family over his intellectual pursuits, but tensions arise as the dynamics of their relationships are tested. The arrival of the mysterious Rat-Wife leads to profound changes for the family. The play explores themes of guilt, responsibility, and the complexities of familial love.
