Abstract
plays should be approached as folk tales about universal conflicts. The characters are not just nice and boring and modern, they are mythic creatures, trolls and huldres hiding inside suits, dresses, and polite manners. For the reader who is interested in a more detailed and substantiated version of my argument, I refer to a book by Barbara Fass Leavy and myself, Ibsen's Forsaken Merman: Folklore in the Late Plays (I988).
