摘要:CREDITORS: a tragi-comedy shows a naturalistic, rather ironic view of the corrosive effects of passion. CRIME AND CRIME: a comedy where Strindberg further develops the Swedenborgian view that crime is its own punishment; something of a psychological thriller. DANCE OF DEATH: a drama in two parts where a Captain returns after fifteen years abroad, divorced and robbed of his children. The wife is blamed for the disastrous marriage. SWANWHITE: a fairy play in three acts, it is a treasure-chest full of the truth that lies in fairy tales and brimful of magic and romance. THE GREAT HIGHWAY: a wayfaring drama with seven stations is full of symbolism and imagery; the higher emotional moods are expressed in unrhymed verse, while the scenes in which he satirizes society, its institutions and its successful men are written in witty colloquial dialogue.
