Abstract

Henrik Ibsen is the founder of modern drama. He wrote Doll’s house – a play which projects female freedom with a protagonist leaving her family house and discovering a new world, this new world is not shown to reader/spectator – Ibsen shows us, in John Gabriel Borkman, two women lost in their particular, personal and immutable realities around a madness fantasy of a male character who intitules this master-piece. This article intends to show how double reality of the female needs exclusively a male madness as the shadows depend on candle.
