In "Ghosts" by Henrik Ibsen, naturalistic elements can be seen in the depiction of characters facing consequences of societal norms and expectations, the exploration of inherited traits and family secrets, as well as the portrayal of psychological and emotional struggles. The play's focus on heredity and environmental influence on characters' behavior reflects naturalistic themes of determinism and the impact of past actions on present circumstances. Additionally, the setting of the play, a decaying estate surrounded by a symbolic landscape, adds to the naturalistic atmosphere.
