one Of the most delicate Of dramas that

interweaves in its simple story many
of the authors boyhood memories.
AS de from the symbolism which Ibsen-

Of interest In it's sympathy with human
nature In Hedvig's devotion TO her
father which is mistaken even 60 the
willing sacrifice Of her pet, Ibsen
created one Of the most lovahle char
