"We all have so much we would have liked to do differently. Wrongs we did. Chances we didn't take. Choices we didn't dare make. We know. And we try to forget it.
If it was serious enough, it will haunt us, sooner or later.
The family is the same way. It decides who we will be. No matter how much we try to free us from the actions of the generations before us.
This is what Ghosts - Ibsen's perhaps very sharpest and most gripping play - is about.
When young Oswald Alving returns home after his father's death, the reunion isn't the happiness his mother has been looking forward to. Oswald is incurably ill, and he blames himself and the happy life of an artist he has led in Paris. But Mrs. Alving, who has never told the truth about her husband, realises that the reason is something else. Past has caught up with her, and with it, the shame in everything she has kept hidden."
