""Ghosts"" is a play written by Henrik Ibsen in 1881. It is a domestic tragedy in three acts that explores the themes of family, morality, and the consequences of secrets. The story revolves around the wealthy widow, Mrs. Alving, who is preparing to open an orphanage in memory of her late husband. However, her plans are disrupted when her son, Oswald, returns home from Paris and reveals that he is suffering from a hereditary disease that he inherited from his father. As the play progresses, the truth about Mrs. Alving's marriage and her late husband's infidelities are revealed, leading to a tragic conclusion. ""Ghosts"" is a powerful and thought-provoking play that challenges traditional societal values and norms. It is considered one of Ibsen's most controversial works and has been praised for its bold exploration of taboo subjects such as incest, sexually transmitted diseases, and euthanasia.Engstrand.
