Maurice Maeterlinck is a Belgian Symbolist poet, playwriter and essayist who wrote in French. He also won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1911 for his excellent works of the Symbolist Theatre.
"Home" by Maurice Maeterlinck is a short one-act play that delves into the themes of family and isolation. This story was mainly centred around an elderly man returning to his home to deliver the news of a young girl's death, observing the family's neglect to the threatening tragedy.
Home is a meaningful play as it delves more into the reflection of societal challenges that individuals face and the desperate search for one's place in the world.
