The world-renowned Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906), the "father of modern drama", whose sharp pen we owe the emergence of the realistic direction in modern theater art, opened the modern era in drama thanks to a critical look at Victorian morality. For him, as well as for many Scandinavian writers, the most important thing was the exposure and refutation of everything that was traditionally considered sacred. Ibsen is the forerunner of the art of the 20th century with its condensation, experimentation and multidimensionality. The secret of the plot composition of Ibsen's drama is in the successive disclosure of certain secrets that reveal the inner disharmony of the characters, hidden behind the outer shell of a happy life. In the play "Supports of Society", the author ridicules the vices of society, exposes middle-class morality, depicts the eternal conflict between good and evil.
