In this paper, I would like to examine the dreadful impact of syphilis, a hereditary disease, on Henrik Ibsen’s Ghosts through the characters of Captain Alving and Johanna on the one hand, as well as Oswald and Regina on the other hand. In this concern, I would like to argue why Captain Alving is sexually attracted to Johanna. Due to an illicit relationship between master and maid-servant, Regina was born in the Alving Heritage. This paper shows how Oswald is infected by venereal disease, namely syphilis, due to a sexual relationship with his half-sister, Regina. In terms of literary justice, why Ibsen’s Ghosts is a domestic tragedy, I aim to investigate through applying the theory of syphilis made by some notable scholars and critics, including Hartl, Jones, King, and Nicol. Plus, this paper aims to look at the theory of hereditary disease made by Freud and Mencken with a view to exploring Ibsen’s treatment of human characters. In this way, it would like to examine also Ibsen’s thoughts of love and sex of 19th-century Norwegian bourgeois society in the light of syphilis affectedmale and female. The play, Ghosts, continues to evoke a broader interest because the complex portrayal of the discourse of hereditary guilt remains a central theme in today’s societies as well. Keywords—Captain Alving, Hereditary Genetics, Johanna, Oswald, Regina, and Syphilis.
