However, it has also been read as a play that anticipates movements such as symbolism, nihilism, and expressionism.1 Some proponents of the naturalistic interpretation base their arguments on the thematics of the play, pointing to the power struggle between the sexes that takes place in the play and claiming that this is a prototypical naturalist trope.
