Henrik Ibsen is known as the "father of modern drama" and "the greatest playwright after Shakespeare". As the originator of the modern drama, Ibsen had undoubtedly a profound thought about modern living circumstances.Western Marxist critic Georg Lukacs said that Ibsen’s Rosmersholm is the most profound tragedy of Ibsen’s cogitation and works. Rosmersholm is a profound tragic event. At the end of the drama, Rosmer and Rebecca choosed to commit suicide, and the destructive power didn’t come from outside, but from the inner conflict. This almost become the riddle of the Sphinx."Love and death:the dramatic structure and psychological conflict in Rosmersholm" is the main part of the paper. I will carefully analyze the text of "Rosmersholm" and explore the dramatic structure and the hidden structure of Rosmersholm, to seek out the inner conflicts behind the dramatic structure. In this section, I will devide it into several parts:"Rosmersholm-a metaphor","Backtracking:Beate’s complaints","two proposes-the inner conflict in the play" the beliefe of love in the death".In the chapter "Undertake and Redemption:the phylosophy theme in Rosmersholm ", I will divided it into two parts:" Freud’s trap","The existential dilemma in modern Tragedy". Beyond Freud’s sexual determinism, I will analyze the tragic conflict of Rosmer’s lofty ideal and the moral conscience of the eternal power in the past. In my opinion, the suicide of Rosmer and Rebecca not only reverted to the traditional soul of self-redemption and self-purification, but also was the sins of their own self-bear required by free will, Which appeared as noble morality, love, and will complete, stripped of all shelter and false life true.
