Married is a play written by August Strindberg, a Swedish playwright, novelist, and essayist. The play was first performed in 1884 and is considered one of Strindberg's most famous works. The story revolves around a young couple, Edgar and Alice, who are struggling with their marriage. Edgar is an artist who is unable to sell his paintings, while Alice is a former actress who is now a housewife. The couple's financial problems and lack of communication lead to a series of arguments and misunderstandings, which ultimately threaten to tear them apart. As the play progresses, the couple's relationship becomes increasingly toxic, with each character trying to assert their dominance over the other. Married is a powerful exploration of the complexities of marriage and the destructive power of jealousy and resentment. Strindberg's writing is raw and intense, with vivid descriptions of the characters' emotions and inner turmoil. The play is considered a masterpiece of naturalistic drama and continues to be studied and performed around the world.Higher and higher rose the swing, until it struck the topmost branches of the maple. The girl screamed and fell forward, into his arms; he was pushed over, on to the seat. The trembling of the soft warm body which nestled closely in his arms, sent an electric shock through his whole nervous system; a black veil descended before his eyes and he would have let her go if her left shoulder had not been tightly pressed against his right arm.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
