Summary "Rosmersholm: Schauspiel in vier Aufzügen" by Henrik Ibsen is a dramatic play written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Johannes Rosmer, a former pastor, and the dynamics of his relationships with Rebekka West, his housekeeper, and the other characters who represent various societal viewpoints. The play explores themes of love, loyalty, and the struggle between tradition and modernity, set against the backdrop of personal tragedy. At the start of the play, we are introduced to the tranquil yet emotionally charged atmosphere of Rosmersholm, where Johannes Rosmer lives. Rebekka West is busy preparing for the arrival of Rektor Kroll, who is concerned about Rosmer following the recent death of his wife, Beate. The conversations hint at the ghostly presence of the past, both in the form of mournful memories and the symbolism of the "white horse." The exchange between Rebekka and Kroll reveals the tension and complexities of their relationships while foreshadowing deeper conflicts regarding societal expectations and personal desires. The opening establishes a setting rich with emotional undercurrents and sets the stage for the ensuing drama. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
