	Peer Gynt Summary
		However, Peer hadn't shown much interest in Ingrid - until he discovered that her wedding was to take place that very evening; it was only then that he resolved to attend the marriage and talk the girl's father into letting him take the place of the intended bridegroom.
		Peer Gynt's action, flavor, atmosphere, and characters are lifted from Norwegian folklore to function as shadows and types for Isben's satirical view of the human condition.
		Even Peer, acting the scoundrel or fool, is not devoid of a certain charm, in part due to his eternal optimism and his often manipulative yet authentic congeniality.

	Peer Gynt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Peer agrees to a number of issues, but withdraws in the end, but then he is confronted with the fact that the green-clad woman is with child (Mirroring Ibsen's own struggles with the child he had out of wedlock).
		Peer is away for many years, taking part in various occupations and playing various roles including that of a businessman engaged in enterprises on the coast of Morocco.
		The historical Peer Gynt or Per Gynt, was in fact a fabled huntsman from Gudbrandsdalen, Norway, in the 18th century.

	Peer Gynt - a play by Henrik Ibsen
		Peer owes much in his character to his mother and a great deal to his father; this we learn from Ase herself in one of her early conversations with her son.
		In Peer Gynt there is sufficient matter of extraneous interest -- such as the intrinsic beauty of the lines and the situation itself -- to attract the reader or auditor, so that he will pay strict attention to all that is said and done.
		Peer Gynt is not a "well-made" play; it is not modeled upon any accepted formula, yet it is effective both as poetry and drama.

	Edvard Grieg - "Peer Gynt" - Suite No.1, Op. 46
		Although Peer Gynt is one of the lightest in tone of Ibsen’s plays, it contains its fair share of the darkness and psychological probing so characteristic of the greatest Nordic playwright - certainly not something we associate with Grieg, whose music was memorably dismissed by Debussy as "bon-bons wrapped in snow".
		The incidental music to Peer Gynt was written in 1875, and first performed, with the play, in February 1876.
		Peer Gynt, a sort of Nordic Everyman-figure with a mischeivous streak, travels through his life encountering a range of allegorical adventures, until, after years of wandering he realises the sterile selfishness of his existence and finds peace in the arms of his beloved Solveig.

		Solveig's voice is heard again, and the light from her hut reminds him of his last hope.
		As Peer appeals to her, he finally resolves to rake the narrow road for the first time in his life.

	Peer Gynt
		The "new performing version" of Ibsen's Peer Gynt, a collaboration of actor Christopher Plummer and conductor Michael Lankester, was as ingenious in structure as good carpentry, and as polished as fine cabinet work in last night's performance by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (with Lankester conducting) in Roy Thomson Hall.
		Peer Gynt, by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, becomes a conumdrum, then, for it was written in 1867 as a dramatic poem, and not intended to be staged.
		Despite the fact that Ibsen's "Peer" is, in critic John Simon's words, partly a "satire on Norwegian pettiness, cowardice and lack of vision," the myth is a powerful and still resonant story in that country.

		Based on Henrik Ibsen's epic poem of the same title, this new adaptation of "Peer Gynt" is the story of a young man going through his life trying to find his identity and subsequently running away from it.
		"Peer Gynt" is an unusual work for Ibsen, and is not performed often because it is a vast epic.

	PEER GYNT by Henrik Ibsen - Notes - Donn B. Murphy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Peer is torn between a noble woman, Solveig, and a series of exotic tempters: the naieve Ingrid, the entrapping Troll Princess, and the exotic and devious Anitra.
		In the madhouse, Peer and the inmates play out their inner images of themselves, with an unsparingly raw honesty which is characteristic of mental "illness." Sometimes the "insane" see all too clearly their untenable place in the world.
		Peer, however eludes the bullies, takes ignominious advantage of the gullibility of the bridegroom, and despite being intrigued by the Solveig, the preacher's daughter, carries bride Ingrid off to the hills.

		In Ibsen's verse drama, the wanton cruelty of Peer's egocentric exploits are justifiable because, as a folk hero, his job is to define the national identity of his people.
		In fact, the play's most indelible image is of Peer sitting alone at the end of his journey, peeling an onion that he likens to himself, looking for the core of identity that has eluded him all his life -- but finding nothing more than one more superficial layer of skin.
		As Peer confronts the trolls, wizards and other fabulous creatures that inhabit his magical world, painterly projections splash across the screen, changing the mood as they shift the locale from forest to desert to sea.

	Show Business Weekly: Review: Peer Gynt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Peer Gynt, a five-act dramatic poem Ibsen wrote when he was 38 and living in Rome is, in the words of its current director Andrei Serban, "an impossible play." Its impossibilities stem in part from its having been written to be read, not performed, so it can only be staged when drastically cut.
		Peer’s highly symbolic series of wanderings becomes both more frightening and more scathingly amusing until he ends, sunk in meditation of those who "live on the backs of others" and those who "live for themselves alone." Slowly, Peer peels an onion, coming to the nothing at its core.
		Peer, at the end of his long, lavish and ludicrous search for identity, for a comfortable identity, finally realizes that he’s been looking in all the wrong places.

		As Peer's mother, Ase, Eyvonne Williams is notable, along with Michelle Noh as the pure-hearted Solveig and Masasa as her mother.
		In the second act the long and convoluted tale of Peer's rise to power is cleverly solved with an ersatz newsreel of his life, a la Citizen Kane, that combines snippets of Ibsen's play with stock footage from the '30s.
		L.A. "Peer Gynt," Ibsen's "dramatic poem," was based on the old Norwegian folk tale about the narcissistic scoundrel Peer Gynt, whose wild and sometimes supernatural exploits have given many a post-Freudian academician plenty of grist for scholarly dissertations.

		For the Norwegians to ask an American director to produce one of their national literary treasures seemed such an extraordinary gesture, especially in the context of the centennials of Ibsen's death and the celebrations for 100 years of Norwegian independence as a national state.
		But one thing that interests me in Peer Gynt is that there is a lot of repetition in his actions.

		Many of the things that Peer does are unrealistic and absurd, beginning with Act I when the play opens to Peer's inventive and clearly exaggerated story of hunting, a story his mother believes.
		Peer is willing to become one of the trolls, even wearing a tail and consuming the troll's natural food.
		The playwright makes clear that the situations Peer is placed in are as absurd as some of the elements within the society where Ibsen lives.

	Peer Gynt Summary & Essays - Henrik Ibsen
		However, Peer Gynt quickly became recognized as a masterwork of Scandinavian literature, and in 1876, Ibsen adapted his work for the stage.
		Since Ibsen originally intended this work to be read, he had little concern about including Peer's travels or about creating situations or locations that would later prove more difficult to translate to a stage performance.
		He is a character who runs from commitment, and who is completely selfish, having little concern for the sacrifices that others are forced to make in accommodating him.
