<i>The Wild Duck</i> 1884 play by Henrik Ibsen

The Wild Duck is an 1884 play by the Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen.

It focuses on the Ekdal family, whose fragile peace is shattered by Gregers Werle, an idealist who insists on exposing hidden truths, leading to tragic consequences. The play was written in a realistic style, but literary scholars have pointed out the play's kinship with symbolism.
