One character created by this author marvels at the pictures in English-language books like Harrison's History of London, which were left behind by an old sea captain who used to live in his room. In another of his plays, the protagonist reasons that God has granted him a gift because he can profit from the burning of his wife's ancestral home. One of his title characters imagines that her lover will die with "vine-leaves" in his hair, but he actually dies in a brothel run by Mademoiselle Diana. In one of his plays, the housekeeper Gina admits an affair with Hakon Werle, who orders Hedwig to kill the wounded title animal. He wrote a play in which Halvard Solness falls to his death from his own tower, and a play whose title character uses Judge Brack's two pistols to shoot herself. For 10 points, name this playwright of The Wild Duck, The Master Builder, and Hedda Gabler, a modernist from Norway.
