Abstract
Not too much values impact success as basically as truth, so truthfulness is the basis upon which man’s relationships are built. Therefore, without truth, maintainable success is impossible in man dealings with others.
Power, authority and the feeling of being torn in so many directions because of different obligations are considered difficult problems to modern society. Hence, democracy offers man in any modern society with the power of free speech that accepts a right for each one to speak freely for his/her own rights. Though, not many individuals can think or tell the truth when the comfort and security of all of the people in a society is concerned.
Being the father of modern drama, Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) is a socio-realistic dramatist whose plays are devoted to criticize modern social evils and to find truthful characters with psychological complexity in order to create new movement in drama. He finds his duty to tell the truth in time Europe experiences social disorder and the people exposed to democratic ideology and political corruption, also Europe entered the second industrial revolution that is a part of new imperialism period. In the late 1890s Norway was undergoing industrialization. The new society prospered, but created new kinds of social problems that encourages many dramatists to shed light on.
