N2  - "The Collected Works of Henrik Ibsen, Vol. 11" by Henrik Ibsen is a collection of dramatic works written in the late 19th century. This volume includes three of Ibsen's significant plays: "Little Eyolf," "John Gabriel Borkman," and "When We Dead Awaken." The central themes of these plays often explore the complexities of human relationships, egoism, and the pursuit of self-realization against societal norms. The characters are richly drawn and reflect the struggles and moral dilemmas of human existence.  At the start of "Little Eyolf," the audience is introduced to Alfred Allmers and his wife, Rita, who are anxiously awaiting the return of their son Eyolf, who has a physical disability. The dialogue establishes a tense dynamic between Alfred and Rita, as Alfred expresses a desire to be a more engaged father, aiming to help Eyolf cope with his limitations and seek happiness. However, their conversation takes a darker turn as Rita exhibits jealousy and resentment toward Eyolf, viewing him as an impediment to her relationship with Alfred. As these familial tensions unfold, the arrival of the mysterious Rat-Wife hints at deeper, possibly supernatural influences that will impact their lives dramatically. The atmosphere is charged with emotions, setting the stage for a profound exploration of parental love, egoism, and the confrontation with fate. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
