Ibsen describes “A gloomy landscape [that] is faintly visible, veiled by steady rain.” This steady rain gives the feeling of the dark and sorrowful atmosphere, foreshadowing the mood of Ibsen’s play. In literature, weather often serves as a mirror for the characters within the story: in this case, the dismal weather reflects the characters' dismal lives.
