I read Doll's House a few years ago so this was my second venture into the work of Henrik Ibsen. I really enjoyed this! The way that Ibsen pits a individualistic main character against society at large is really interesting. 

Dr Stockmann is such a fascinating multifaceted character, one that I'm not even sure now if I have completely made up my mind about. I believe he meant well at the start, but the sting of rejection from the people he was most interested in helping ultimately changes his views on humanity in general, for better or for worse. He also shows quite a condescending side to his character by the end of the play, which I'm not entirely sure how I feel about but I can see how he got there even if I don't agree with his views. 

Just like Doll's House, Enemy of the People tells a story that is just as relevant and timely now as it was when it was first written and performed...maybe even more so with the threat of global warming,climate change and world wide political instability. Science and politics are as much at odds in our current world as they were in Ibsen's.
