Question

A 2018 Beijing production of this play included moments of pointed silence after a scene that asked the audience to voice grievances was censored. A character in this play compares a community to a ship, since “everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm,” while discussing an election. Arthur Miller’s version of this play removed pro-eugenics overtones in a central speech, such as an analogy that uses “poodle-men” and “cur-men” to disparage the “common folk.” (10[1])That speech in this play denounces the “compact majority” and is given in Captain Horster’s home. In this play, Hovstad is pressured (-5[1])not to publish a report (10[1])in the People’s Messenger (10[1])by the protagonist’s brother, (10[1])the mayor. For 10 points, name this play by Henrik Ibsen in which Dr. Stockmann is shunned for revealing that the town’s baths are contaminated. ■END■ (10[1])
