Description: NOTE: MINOR ANNOTATION. INSIDE CONDITION IS GOOD./The Weavers, Hannele, and The Beaver Coat, belong to the early and dramatically most important period of Hauptmann's creative life. They show his great versatility, for only a versatile mind like Hauptmann's could produce a tragedy, a dream play, and a comedy in the same year ... It is characteristic of all three plays in this collection that Hauptmann does not give a definite conclusion to his conflict. More than once, he has pointed out that true drama has no ending and that a decision is often imposed upon a playwright who finds no clear-cut ending in life, who always sees new variations, new possibilities for breaking off the action.
