This masterpiece by Ibsen contains all the themes that the Norwegian playwright explored: the ideological, the psychological, the sociological, the political, and the cultural.

The central motif of the work is the demand of every moral person to remain true to themselves and not to violate their principles.

Rosmer and Rebecca, individuals from different social backgrounds, carrying deeply rooted guilt, clash, resulting in both being defeated and led to death, that is, to the defeat of two worlds: the world of old morality and the world of liberated consciousness.
