** The crowd scene in the fifth act, where Brand is literally carried away by the parish people, and has convinced them all of his cause. As a result, the officials are at a veritable breaking point.

* FridgeLogic / HarsherInHindsight: Brand`s hampering on the "will of man", and the HeroicWillpower ''may'' come out as an example of ValuesDissonance after UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. Especially when considering the infamous Riefenstahl movie ''Film/TriumphOfTheWill'' almost using Brand`s CatchPhrase as a title. In more recent times, the crowd bellowing WithUsOrAgainstUs may fall under the same cathegory, because American president UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush used the same phrase when he began the UsefulNotes/WarOnTerror. Not that Ibsen himself could possibly have known about this.
