An Enemy of the People (original Norwegian title: En folkefiende) is an 1950play written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. Ibsen wrote this play in the response to the public outcry against his play Ghosts, which was considered scandalous for the time. Ghosts had challenged the hypocrisy of Victorian morality and was deemed indecent for its veiled references to syphilis. An Enemy of the People addresses the irrational tendencies of the masses, and the hypocritical and corrupt nature of the political system that they support.

Author's Biography

Henrik Ibsen (1828 – 1906) was Norwegian playwright and poet. He is considered by many as the greatest playwright since Shakespeare and to be "the father" of modern theater. Before he was elevated to these considerations he was often criticized for the immorality of his plays.
