ABSTRACT
Referring to Plato’s intertext of Ibsen’s play Rosmersholm, especially to the parallelism of the
relationship between Socrates and Alcibiades, and Rosmer and Rebecca, the paper insists on the inseparable connection between politics and eroticism in Ibsen’s work. In contrast to the interpretations in which the political dimension of the drama has only been considered in
passing or completely ignored in favor of the love mystery, the text shows how the opposition
of political positions – conservative and liberal options – is used in the drama as a framework
for a metadramatic consideration of the (im)possibility of relationships between the two,
regardless of whether it is a political or a love agreement. Discussion considers the enigma of
the relationship between Rebecca and Rosmer in the context of Lacan’s interpretation of the
relationship between Socrates and Alcibiades, which he presents in the seminar Transference
(1960-1961), and shows how the enigma of the relationship to the Other is reflected in the
relation between a student and a teacher or a lover and a beloved.
