This article tries to make clear the implicit relationship between Ibsen and Pirandello, that is to say, the fact that the aspect of Pirandellian metatheatre was foreseen in realism of Ibsen. However, this aspect is examined through the analyses of Un marito (1903) by Italo Svevo and Le Cocu magnifique (1920) by Fernand Crommelynch, for these two plays seem to have been, without the authors' awareness, linking Ibsen's realism with Pirandello's self-conscious playfulness, which leads to his metatheatrical dramaturgy.
