"Early Plays — Catiline, the Warrior's Barrow, Olaf Liljekrans" by Henrik Ibsen is a compilation of three early plays that give us a view into Ibsen's beginnings as a writer. In these stories, Ibsen starts to deal with ideas, such as being an individual, clashing with society, and the confusing reasons behind why people do what they do. The main play, "Catiline", tells the story of a Roman leader named Catiline, who is caught between his big dreams and the harsh realities he faces, offering a deep look into ambition and moral problems. The story kicks off with Catiline struggling with disappointment and a sense of emptiness, leading him to join a conspiracy to bring Rome back to its former glory, but also to seek revenge after a deadly encounter with a woman, setting the stage for the chaos to come.
