Role Modeling for Future Generations

Paper Summary:

This paper compares Henrik Ibsen's "An Enemy of the People" and Bernard Malamud's "The Natural" on the issue of which protagonist proves a better role model for their children and future generation. Included is the questionnaire used in the study.

From the Paper:

"Dr. Thomas Stockmann, the protagonist of Henrik Ibsen's "An Enemy of the People", demonstrates the true qualities of postmodern heroism. A practical medical practitioner, Stockmann is easily excited over the moral values incumbent in a town. In declaring the town baths are contaminated, Dr. Stockmann means to help his community members only to be accused of plotting for money. An idealist and passionate man, Dr. Stockmann did not fathom he is to face opposition from the town people, especially from the mayor, The People's Herald journalist Hovstad and his brother Peter Stockmann."
