An Extensive Observation Of Ibsen’s The Pillars Of Society: Women’s Strife Against Patriarchy

Abstract

In the play "The Pillars of Society," written by Henrik Ibsen, the social interactions that existbetween men and women are analyzed in  this inquiry. The first part of the investigation focuses on male characters who, within a patriarchal society, exercise hegemonic dominance and oppress female characters. The female characters come off as being reticent, quiet, and submissive. The second part of this investigation delves into the question of whether female characters who defy prevalent patriarchal authority have a revolutionary role in the narratives they inhabit. They are opposed to institutions that were developed by men and have resulted in women being silenced and marginalized in society
