This collection was good, but I prefer George Bernard Shaw. Ibsen seemed to have a social agenda in sevaral plays, which was neither a good or bad point. The plays include a broad variety of people, from different classes and backgrounds. The plays were well written and entertaining, but none really stood out as exceptional. ( )

There is so much more to Ibsen than "Peer Gynt," "A Doll House," "The Master Builder," and "Hedda Gabler." Ibsen was more than a dramatist. He was a poet (in the wide sense) and prophet. Although not always able to get his vision across (e.g., Emperor and Galilean), His messages and vision have as much meaning today as they did when he was alive. ( )
