Specifications
It is known that Strindberg wrote the play The Dance of Death in October 1900. In the same month and year, he also wrote his work Easter.
Reading them, one discovers that a real chaos separates the two works. Easter is full of light. It is permeated by the ideals of the Christian faith. In Mrs. Heist's house, there is a warmth that "emanates" from understanding, reconciliation – in a word, from love.
On the other hand, The Dance of Death is a dark, gloomy, savage, deadly work. The walls exude poison. Here, the house is frozen by hatred.
The author's ability to shift from one emotional state to its complete opposite is remarkable. And it is true what has been said that only when one reads these two works together will they understand the Swedish playwright, as a person and as a writer.
Although at many points confusing and contradictory, this work leaves an astonishing, almost inexplicable impression of very great art.
