Question

Often considered the founder of modern realistic drama, __________ felt that drama should tackle subjects that had previously been taboo on stage such as economic injustice and the sexual double standard but refused to make simple moral judgments or resolve the dramatic action neatly.

Answer 1

Answer:

Henrik Ibsen

Explanation:

In Norway, one of the greatest playwrights of this second half of the nineteenth century, Henrik Ibsen, is born, who is considered the great innovator and the creator of modern realistic theater. Ibsen's work fits the concept of the "work well done", the one in which the internal and external structure fit perfectly, with an upward gradation of dramatic tension and an always balanced distribution of psychological forces.

Ibsen's masterpiece is Doll's House ”, which is a plea for the liberation of women, which created a great scandal and social uproar. Without the dramatic work of Ibsen, the subsequent development of the theater in the 20th century would be inconceivable.

In Russia, Realism became a psychological theater with the work of Anton Chekhov, whose success is inseparable from the foundation of the Moscow Theater of Art by Stanislavski and Dachenko. Other realists whose work is also linked to this theater are Tolstoy and Máximo Gorki.
