# John Gabriel Borkman

By Henrik Ibsen.

"John Gabriel Borkman" by Henrik Ibsen is a play written in 1896. Eight years after his release from prison for financial speculation, disgraced banker John Gabriel Borkman remains isolated in his home. His wife Gunhild and her twin sister Ella clash over the future of his son Erhart, each seeking to claim the young man for their own purposes. As family tensions escalate, Borkman's past choices and present delusions collide in this penultimate work that bridges Ibsen's naturalistic social commentary with his emerging symbolic style.
