  5. Realism In Theater • Around the middle of the 19th century, there was a movement toward realism • By 1860, dramatic literature strove for truthful portrayal • Everyday life, with which the playwright was directly familiar, became the subject matter • Interest shifted from the past to human motives and experience, or, more likely, idealized versions of these

  6. Realism in Theater • Exposure to such topics on the stage was not particularly pleasant, and many play-goers objected that the theater was turning into a “sewer” • Playwrights countered the criticisms by saying that the way to avoid such ugly depictions on the stage was to change society

  7. Realism in Theater • Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) from Norway was the original master of realist drama • Ibsen built powerful problem-dramas around carefully selected detail and plausible character-to-action motivations

  8. Realism in Theater • Ibsen’s concern for detail carries to the scenery and costumes, and his plays contain detailed descriptions of settings and properties (all essential to the action) • The content was controversial, and most deal with questions about moral and social issues that remain difficult today

  9. Realism in Theater • The Irish writer George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) embodied the spirit of 19th century realism • He was above all humanitarians – his faith lay in humanity and its infinite potential • Shaw’s plays deal with the unexpected and they often appear contradictory and inconsistent in characterization and structure

  10. Realism in Theater • He loved to build up a pompous notion and then destroy it • Example: a responsible family learns that their daughter is pregnant. A character comes to the girl’s defense. The girl then explodes in anger against her defender. She had been married the whole time and condemns her defender’s freethinking • Shaw insisted that art should have a purpose • Plays, to him, made great vehicles for social messages

  11. Man and Superman • A play by George Bernard Shaw • Read through the play as a class • Answer the plot questions on your notes as you read • Answer the comprehension classes on your own and TURN THEM IN
