How can two people who once loved each other and were ready to give their lives to one another gradually grow apart? How can these seemingly small and irrelevant differences and separate outlooks suddenly become the main obstacle for getting along? Why two people who shared the love close in their separate private worlds while love is gradually replaced by indifference followed by an obvious hatred? How do we learn this vicious art of poisoning each other with silent spite, and later declare an open and ruthless war? Why two lovers cease to love? Why, after the noble oath “for better, for worse, till death do us part”, people start creating hell for each other and dream about death parting them? In his play Strindberg accurately and unapologetically analyses the phase of this silent transformation, this terrible and implacable growing hatred.
August Strindberg (1849-1912) was a Swedish novelist and playwright, one of the greatest theatre figures in the world, rightfully considered to be the “father” of the modern theatre. A. Strindberg was a colourful and well-rounded person who wrote both novels and plays (the compilation of his works consist of 72 volumes). The author studied Chinese language, wrote works in fields of orientalism, linguistics, ethnography, history, biology, astronomy, astrophysics, mathematics and science.
