Ibsen's protagonists in \u003ci\u003eA Doll's House, Hedda Gabler\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Master Builder\u003c\/i\u003e try to bend the world to conform to their personal visions--with disastrous results. Chekhov's characters refuse to do anything, instead dramatizing their lives as if they were actors in a play (which they are). Rehearsing the intractable squabbles between men and women in \u003ci\u003eThe Dance of Death\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Ghost Sonata\u003c\/i\u003e, Strindberg suggests that only in life beyond death can humanity transcend the brutality of existence. Together, the lives of these characters offer a study of the individual's struggle with modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eZander Brietzke\u003c\/b\u003e has taught at Lehigh University, The College of Wooster and Columbia University.
