Hii, I’m Jennica and the main thing about me is I like to
read. The best thing I liked about English this year was reading the story The Alchemist. I enjoyed reading it. :]
Henrik Ibsen was born on
March 20th 1828 in Skein, Norway. His mother was a painter and played the
piano and his father was a merchant. At the age of 8, his father went bankrupt. This was
a shattering blow to the family. When he left home at the age of 15,
he spent the next six years as a pharmacist's assistant. He wrote his first play, Catilina, in 1849 in the town of Grimstad. In 1850 he moved to Christiania to get ready for
examinations at the University of Christiania.
In 1851 he was offered a job as manger
and director of a theater in Bergen. His plays were unsuccessful and even
though he didn’t become a good director, his years in Bergen gave him a lot of experience.
He left Norway in 1852 and settles in Italy. He wrote his next play, Brand, in 1865. The play made him famous
in Scandinavia. Two years later, Ibsen created one of his masterworks, Peer Gynt. He then lived in Germany for some time. While
he was there he saw a play, The Pillars of Society, Which helped him launch his career
and sometime after that he wrote another famous play called A Doll’s House. He
married Suzannah Daae Thoresen
in 1805 and had one son. In 1891 Ibsen
returned to Norway as a internationally known playwright. In the
1900’s Ibsen had a series of strokes which enabled him to write. He then died
on may 23 1906.
I think the title of a doll’s house
has something to do with many character going through a conflict. I believe
this because when I think of dolls I think of dolls paying together. I think
the play focus on one character and the things he or she goes through. I
believe this because during the time when Ibsen wrote the play, he questioned
the accepted social practices of the times. It may have to do with the
way things were backed then.
