      @@nevaehhedd5504 Sure! A major theme of the play is the damage done by prejudice. Both the greasers and socs make the mistake of acting based on prejudices, and both groups suffer because of it.

      Another (similar) option could be how the greasers and socs both make immediate and superficial judgments about people that are later shown to be wrong. (They judge based on appearances or family finances without really learning about the person's character.)

      Hopefully you got some ideas about themes from the video. I think a key theme of the play is the value of integrity - Dr. Stockmann refuses to lie about his beliefs, despite what it seems to cost him. Then again, saying that the theme is the *value* of integrity assumes that Dr. Stockmann is happy, or at least hopeful, at the end of the play. To argue that the play is advocating for his integrity would require showing that Dr. Stockmann is a success story, a model for how we should live our lives. This is an interesting point of debate.

    Recently read that Jaws movie has a similar storyline. What do you think? ‘Steven Spielberg solved the drains problem by making the danger that threatens the prosperity of a tourist town not tiny microorganisms in the polluted waters of the baths but a far more exciting monster that lurks beneath the waves while vacationers frolic on the beach. Yet in all other respects, the first part of Jaws is a faithful compression of Ibsen's didactic five-act satire into half an hour of breathless action. For Ibsen's nameless spa resort on the southern coast of Norway, there is the New England beach town of Amity Island, whose economy is equally dependent on vacationers. For Thomas Stockmann, the medical officer who discovers that the supposedly health-giving waters of the spa are contaminated with deadly bacteria, there is the honest police chief Martin Brody, who tries to insist that the beach be closed down. For Stockmann's elder brother, Peter, who is at once the town mayor, chief constable, and chairman of the board of the spa, there is Amity Island's mayor, Larry Vaughn-both put economic interests before public safety. For Ibsen's corrupt newspaper editor, Hovstad, there is Harry Meadows of The Amity Gazette.’

      Fun question! I like Dr. Stockmann's proclamation at the end of Act II that "I don't care if the whole world crumbles, I refuse to be a slave to any man!" and his statement to the people in Act IV that "I'm thinking of the few--those rare spirits among us who have had the vision to recognize the truth in new ideas, new ways of thought--and have made those ways their own. These men are in the vanguard--so far ahead that the solid majority can't begin to reach them; and there they fight for new-born truths--too new and too daring to be accepted by that sacred majority of yours." He is so defiant and condescending in these!
