China and the West

Sun Jiaxiu schreibt über Rosmersholm von Henrik Ibsen : "In this play, Ibsen uses the illusion of white horses as a symbol, which obviously goes together with the theme and the event. But in fact, the symbol has the play covered with the atmosphere of mysticism and decadent emotion. We feel that it damages the realistic quality of the play, and at the same time reflects a negative element in the writer's emotion."
Ibsen's last play When we dead awaken seems to Sun the most disappointing : "The play has achieved nothing so far as dramatic techniques are concerned. It lacks dramatic action and life. The characters are very abstract. We perhaps can see further how the limitations in his thinking and emotion have brought Ibsen sadness and disappointment."
