Although the drama "Peer Gynt" is not the representative work of the famous Norwegian writer and playwright Ibsen, it occupies an important position among all the author's plays.

Ibsen's poetic drama "Peer Gynt" uses a lot of symbols and metaphors to create a series of confusing dream realms and images, analyzing the extreme egoism of the Norwegian upper class at that time, and at the same time touching on the world at that time. many major political events. Regarding Ibsen's poetic drama, Grieg once made this summary on the title page of his "Second Suite": "Peer Gynt is a character who is pathologically addicted to fantasy and has become a man obsessed with power. A victim of arrogance and arrogance. When he was young, he had many rough and reckless behaviors, and suffered many tricks of fate. Peer Gynt ran away from home, and after traveling around, he was already old when he returned. On his way home he was capsized again, leaving him as penniless as when he left home. Here Solveig, the lover of his youth and loyal to him for many years, came to greet him, and he pressed his face against Solveig in exhaustion. On Georg's knees, he finally found his resting place." Although the "Song of Solveig" in the second suite is indeed a masterpiece, the first suite is generally more popular.
