Summary "The Collected Works of Henrik Ibsen, Vol. 04 (of 11)" by Henrik Ibsen is a collection of drama, specifically a dramatic poem titled "Peer Gynt," written during the mid-19th century. This work presents a combination of fantastical and satirical elements that follow the life and adventures of the titular character, Peer Gynt, a complex and imaginative young man from the Norwegian countryside who engages in numerous escapades and self-deceptions. The opening of "Peer Gynt" introduces the main character, Peer, and his tense relationship with his mother, Åse, who chastises him for his tendency to embellish stories and avoid responsibility. As Peer recounts a seemingly outlandish tale about his hunting exploits, his mother expresses disbelief and frustration, reflecting on their family's diminished circumstances. Their interaction sets the stage for Peer's character development, as he dreams of greatness while grappling with the disappointment of his current life. This lively exchange showcases Ibsen's characteristic blend of humor and pathos, establishing a rich foundation for the adventure and self-discovery that will unfold throughout the poem.
