Résumé

Three Dramas by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson presents a trilogy of plays «The Editor», «The Bankrupt», and «The King» that delve into the complexities of truth, morality, and societal structures. Written during a transformative period in Bjørnson's life, these works reflect his shift from political activism to a focus on social philosophy through drama. In «The Editor», the narrative unfolds around Harald Rejn, a young politician whose ideals are tested by the manipulations of a malicious journalist. The play examines the tension between personal integrity and public perception, highlighting the emotional toll of political life. «The Bankrupt» offers a poignant exploration of financial ethics, following the downfall of a businessman entangled in economic deceit. This drama sheds light on the human cost of financial failure and the societal pressures that accompany it. «The King» presents a nuanced portrayal of monarchy, depicting a ruler's internal struggle between tradition and the need for reform. The play serves as a meditation on leadership and the challenges of enacting change within established systems. Bjørnson's trilogy is a testament to his literary prowess, offering insightful commentary on the interplay between individual aspirations and societal expectations. These dramas remain relevant, prompting reflection on the enduring themes of power, responsibility, and the human condition.
