“The press has failed in its responsibility.” Drawing your illustrations from An Enemy of the People write an essay in support of this statement
a) The press is indecisive/ easy to manipulate- Hovstad, Aslaksen and Billing promise to support the doctor fully to inform the public about the rot in the baths. However, they refuse to do so later.
b) Treacherous- They betray the doctor. They change their view towards him and fail to tell him so until late. They support his rival.
c) Selfish- According to Hovstad, the initial intention of putting Dr stockmann’s articles on the peoples messenger is to sell more newspapers- not the ideas but out who.
They refuse to support the doctor because they will suffer financially if the baths are shut.
d) Opportunistic- Hovstad and Aslaksen rush over to Dr. Stockmann to cash in on what they believe to have been a plot to make money by the doctor and Morten Kiil.
e) Dishonest- Hovstad admits to Petra that the article he wants translated may be untrue but since it says what people want to read, it will make the newspaper sell.
