She begins to feel a strong connection to him and starts to question her life with her husband. As the stranger tries to win her over, Ellida must confront her past and decide whether to stay with her husband or follow her heart.The play explores themes of love, freedom, and the struggle between duty and desire. It is a classic work of Norwegian literature and is considered one of Ibsen's most powerful plays.Bolette. Yes! I think we live very much as the carp down there in the pond. They have the fjord so near them, where the shoals of wild fishes pass in and out.
