Strindberg, August 1849-1912 creator Björkman, Edwin 1866-1951 text utu 2014 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "Plays by August Strindberg, First Series" by August Strindberg is a collection of theatrical works written in the late 19th century. This volume features three significant plays: "The Dream Play," "The Link," and "The Dance of Death," demonstrating Strindberg's exploration of themes such as love, existential despair, and the complexities of human relationships. The characters often reflect Strindberg’s own struggles with identity and societal norms, making for a deeply introspective and dramatic experience. The opening portion introduces "The Dream Play," establishing a surreal and dreamy atmosphere as it portrays the celestial daughter of the god Indra on her descent to Earth to understand human experiences. The prologue hints at the disjointed yet seemingly logical nature of dreams, creating a narrative where time and space are fluid. As the daughter encounters characters below who are marked by both the beauty and anguish of existence, the dialogue suggests a deep inquiry into human suffering and joy. Thus, this initial segment sets the stage for a rich tapestry of human emotions explored throughout the play, highlighting Strindberg's distinct blend of realism and symbolism.
