Pillars of Society is a play written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. The play revolves around the story of Karsten Bernick, a wealthy businessman and pillar of the community in a small Norwegian coastal town. Bernick's past comes back to haunt him when an old friend, Johan T������nnesen, returns to town and threatens to reveal a dark secret from Bernick's past.As the play unfolds, Bernick's carefully constructed facade begins to crumble, and he is forced to confront the consequences of his actions. Along the way, the play explores themes of morality, social responsibility, and the conflict between personal ambition and the greater good.Pillars of Society was first performed in 1877 and is considered one of Ibsen's early masterpieces. It is known for its complex characters, sharp dialogue, and incisive social commentary. The play remains popular today and is frequently studied and performed in theaters around the world.There! I have given it him in earnest now; I don't think he will forget that thrashing! What do you say?--And I say that you are an injudicious mother! You make excuses for him, and countenance any sort of rascality on his part--Not rascality? What do you call it, then? Slipping out of the house at night, going out in a fishing boat, staying away till well on in the day, and giving me such a horrible fright when I have so much to worry me!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
