Talk:An Enemy of the People

message: I don't know much about Norwegian history and culture, but I do think that the use of the word "Victorian" about Ibsen's themes is very inappropriate. Queen Victoria was, after all, queen of Britain, not of the whole of the 19th century Western world! -- IP User 80.36.80.101 13 Apr 2007
"Victorian" is a term used to mean "the era of Queen Victoria", in other words, the era between 1837 and 1901. It does not imply in any way that she was queen of the entire world. AlbertSM (talk) 00:30, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, but do Europeans from non-English speaking countries call the period that?  We do in the US, and I suppose they do in other former British colonies as well as the UK, but that time period is called "la belle epoque" in France. 2600:6C50:800:DC1:9023:20D9:8EFF:A7A9 (talk) 13:22, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

message: *Start class - Needs History, and probably Reception headings.  Needs work to conform to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Theatre/Article_Structure guidelines.
*Low importance - a single play constitutes a "highly specific area of knowledge."

message: " hypocrisy of Victorian morality" - well, Queen Victoria may have ruled in the UK, but that designation surely does not apply to Ibsen .... surely "19th Century" would be better ? Plus in Australia, a "Victorian" is a native of that state ! 195.59.147.60 (talk) 08:52, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

message: It would be good if this article were to quote one of the more famous passages from the play "The minority is always right". This makes the play sound a satire on democracy, which one could view it as, but also as a play about an individualist's fight against the masses. Perhaps the article could say more about how Ibsen felt that he would have got on well with Stockmann,even if he said he was less muddle-headed. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 22:54, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Is the "Dystopian literature" category appropriate? This play deals with the corruption of the 19th-century society, and it is a little bit different from typical dystopian literature. --saebou (talk) 13:03, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
