'''When We Dead Awaken''', a "dramatic epilogue", is the last play Creator/HenrikIbsen ever wrote, published in the second half of 1899. The play contains heavy self-reasessment, is rather introvert, and is rather [[MindScrew difficult to grasp]]. The main character, sculptor Arnold Rubek, is on a mountain resort with his wife, Maja. Here, he encounters a former model of his, Irene, whom he doesn`t recognize on the spot. Meanwhile, his wife goes hunting with a local sportsman, Ulfheim. Rubek and Irene remember the old days, discuss missed opportunities, and finally perish in an avalanche.

* TheUndead: Irene shows herself as something of a {{ghoul}} in the first act. She claims to have been dead for a long time, and also has something of the classical vampire. Cue [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Drusilla]].
