In earlier plays, controversial elements were important and even pivotal components of the action, but they were on the small scale of individual households. In ""An Enemy"", controversy became the primary focus, and the antagonist was the entire community. One primary message of the play is that the individual, who stands alone, is more often ""right"" than the mass of people, who are portrayed as ignorant and sheeplike."
