Abstract
[Osvald Alving can be seen as a symbol of paralysis of the mind at the end of Ghosts (1881). His literal paralysis of the brain symbolizes the paralysis of mind that affects the society of Ibsen’s time, the Norwegian society in which Mrs. Alving, Pastor Manders, and the other characters of the play live, and from which Osvald has been absent since he was sent to live in Paris at the age of seven.]
