What Is the Meaning of "Peer Gynt?"
-BY LOUIS JAMES.

What is the meaning of "Peer
Gynt3' To my mind it is so simple and
direct that it really requires no expla.
nation. Perhaps for this reason so
many people, discarding the obvious,
search for the occult and hidden and
read into the character meanings Of
their own and interpret il accordingly.
Why, | have had people give me great
dissertations upon tho hidden meanings
and symbolisms OF Hamlet play
which TO my way Of thinking is one Of
the most easily understood that our
Shakespeare wrote. The drama or epic
of Peer Gynt is n lesson against self
ishness. pure and simple. Peer is the
egotist who, regardless of others,
thinks OF himself only, his desires and
ambitions. In the end he learns that
no kaiserdom. or wealth, or self-grati-
ficatiou can bring lasting happiness,
and that peace of mind, eternal love
and the salvation of the soul transcend
all earthly possessions.
[ do not believe there is any more
symbolism in "Peer Gynt" than there
is in Grip Van Winkle' or ''Faust;D
in fact Ibsen 3 own words are my au-
thority; 81 never painted symbols, I
painted men, | never dared to plant n
man on the stage until J could see plain.
