Enemy of the People

Book cover
By: (1828-1906)

In Henrik Ibsen's "Enemy of the People," the protagonist, Dr. Stockmann, finds himself in a moral dilemma when he discovers that the local baths in his town are contaminated. Despite his efforts to expose the truth and protect the public health, he is met with resistance from the townspeople who are more concerned with the economic implications of shutting down the baths.

Ibsen skillfully portrays the conflict between individual conscience and societal norms, as well as the dangers of mob mentality and the suppression of dissenting voices. The play raises important questions about the responsibilities of citizens and governments in addressing public health crises, as well as the consequences of prioritizing profits over the well-being of the community.

Overall, "Enemy of the People" is a compelling and thought-provoking work that remains relevant today, reminding readers of the importance of standing up for truth and integrity in the face of opposition. Ibsen's powerful storytelling and complex characters make this play a timeless classic that challenges readers to reflect on their own values and beliefs.

Book Description:
A small coastal town in Norway is experiencing an economic boom from its newly found hot springs. When Dr. Thomas Stockmann finds that the waters are contaminated and dangerous, the people refuse to accept his statement, and Dr. Stockmann's friends turn against him.
