For this assignment, you need to read Arthur Miller’s adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s play An Enemy of the People. You can find a free pdf of the play here: http://www.cis.dk/uploaded/student_life/drama/enemy/enemy_miller.pdf
For this paper, I want you to analyze the play and its characters both aesthetically and ethically. Aesthetically, I will be asking you to compare this play to the criteria your book establishes for a work of Realism. Please note that I am not talking about the very general way that we use the word in our everyday life, but about the standards of a specific artistic outlook. Ethically, I am asking you to apply the Moral Foundations theory we discuss in class to at least two of the characters in the play.
