PR to “An Enemy of the people”

I think An Enemy of the people by Henrik Ibsen was a pretty good book to read. I don’t know why but I love old fashion books, it’s just something about the way they talk, and it makes me think about how things were back then. This story makes mainly makes me think about how no matter what someone goes through they usually fight for the thing they think is right. Dr. Stockmann, throughout the entire book, faced multiple road blocks, and failed multiple times, but he never stopped doing what he thought was right. Kind of near the end though he started to forget what he believed in and he started to get a little bit violent. When he was doing the violent actions near the end and not just leaving and doing what was probably the right choice he stayed for the action and the public war. at the start and middle of the book I loved Dr. Stockmann and what he fought for but near the end of the book he started making all bad decisions so my thoughts for him could go either way. Just like stated, near the end of the book he starts making bad decisions by staying in his hometown and fighting the public in a battle he can’t win. Near the end though at least from what I saw, it seemed that some people that were against him, had a change of heart and was on Dr. S’s side, like Hovestad, Aslasken, and Morten Kiil, and it surprised me to see Morten Kiil change, I kept thinking “is he faking?”. To finish this off, it really made me think about how, even if everyone is against you, you have to fight for what you believe in. And just like in previous books, and maybe in real life too, the worst people you know, and the ones you wouldn’t expect to change for the better, could change.
