"Der Vater" (The Father) is a naturalistic tragedy written by the Swedish playwright August Strindberg and first published in 1887. The play delves into the conflict between the sexes and examines the power struggle within a dysfunctional family, a theme that Strindberg explored throughout his career. Set in a 19th-century bourgeois household, the drama centers around the character of the Captain, a military man, and his wife, Laura, who engage in a psychological battle over the education and custody of their daughter, Bertha.

Strindberg's work is notable for its exploration of marital dynamics and the then-controversial questioning of the patriarchy. The play's title, "Der Vater," reflects the central concern of paternal authority and the challenges it faces. Strindberg's portrayal of the Captain's descent into madness and Laura's manipulation of the situation to her advantage was groundbreaking in its candid and unsentimental depiction of domestic life and the institution of marriage.

The play is a key example of Strindberg's contribution to the development of modern drama and the naturalistic movement, which sought to depict life accurately and without the embellishment typical of earlier theatrical traditions. "Der Vater" is characterized by its tight structure, intense dialogue, and psychological depth, features that have made it a staple of classic theatre repertoires around the world. The play's influence can be seen in the works of later playwrights and continues to be the subject of scholarly analysis and theatrical performance.
