	Henrik Ibsen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ibsen followed A Doll's House with Ghosts (1881), another scathing commentary on Victorian morality, in which a widow reveals to her pastor that she has hidden the evils of her marriage for its duration.
		Ibsen displays masterful use of irony: despite his dogmatic insistence on truth, Gregers never says what he thinks but only insinuates, and is never understood until the play reaches its climax.
		Ibsen had completely rewritten the rules of drama with a realism which was to be adopted by Chekhov and others and which we see in the theater to this day.

		Ibsen's work examined the realities that lay behind many facades, which the society of the time did not want to see.
		Ibsen was to turn that concept on its head, challenging the beliefs of the times and shattering the illusions of his audiences.
		He was born to Marichen and Knud Ibsen, a relatively well-to-do family, in the small port town of Skien, Norway, which was primarily noted for shipping timber.

	little blue light - Henrik Ibsen
		Henrik Ibsen was the second of six children born into a well off merchant family in the small seaside timber port of Skien.
		The poverty and poor schooling of his early years left a lasting impression on Ibsen, and Ibsen displayed a temperament that was an odd mix of shyness and belligerence.
		Ibsen, in his later years, became increasingly aloof and isolated, rarely attending social functions or cultivating friendships (which he viewed as a costly luxury).

	Plekhanov: Ibsen (1908) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Ibsen was born and grew to manhood in a petty bourgeois environment, and the manner and method of his protest were predetermined, so to speak, by the character of that environment.
		Ibsen’s incapacity to judge the modern proletarian movement is obvious from the fact that he did not make the least attempt to understand the great historical significance of the Paris Commune of 1871.
		Ibsen arrived at the individualist point of view not because of the strength of his personality but because of its weakness, which, again, he owed to his early social environment.

	Odin - The dramatist Henrik Ibsen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Ibsen can be criticised for his somewhat superficial treatment of the problems a divorced woman without means would face in contemporary society.
		Ibsen's apprenticeship was long, lasting about 15 years, and included theatre work he later would claim to be as difficult as "having an abortion every day".
		Even though Ibsen withdrew from his Norwegian starting point in the 1870s and became "a European", he was always deeply marked by the country he left in 1864, and to which he first returned as an ageing celebrity.

	Ibsen, Henrik. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Ibsen rebelled against society’s conventions through which the perpetuation of empty traditions restricts all intellectual, artistic, and spiritual growth.
		He was perhaps most successful in depicting the 19th-century woman, whose inner nature was in strong conflict with the role she was called on to perform.
		Although nearly all Ibsen’s plays contain symbolic elements, it was in his final works that the emphasis on symbolism became very strong.

	HENRIK IBSEN
		Ibsen exposed other stresses of modern life by showing the inner pressures and conflicts that inhibit and even destroy the individual.
		Even some supporters of Ibsen were confused by this play, because they expected another problem play; a number of his previous plays had dealt with contemporary social issues like syphilis or political corruption.
		Ibsen has a way of going to the root of the matter, and exposing the skeleton in the cupboard, which is certainly not always a pleasant sight.

		He intended her to be the catalyst for human betterment, a movement which he felt both men and women needed to participate in before any type of true union between the sexes was possible.
		Ibsen himself champions the need to liberate both women and men in Norwegian society in a letter written to Bjornstjerne Bjornson, "Norway is both free and independent enough; but a great deal needs to be done before we can say the same of Norwegian men and Norwegian women" (Sprinchorn 179).

		Ibsen can be criticized for his somewhat superficial treatment of the problems a divorced woman without means would face in contemporary society.
		Ibsen's apprenticeship was long, lasting about 15 years, and included theater work he later would claim to be as difficult as "having an abortion every day." There was a strong pressure to produce hanging over him; one that led to fumbling attempts in many directions.
		Ibsen was especially concerned with the role of theater in the young Norwegian nation's search for its own identity In these "nation-building" pursuits, he gathered his material from the country's medieval history and perfected his art as a dramatist.

	Ibsen Notes @ Theatre w/Anatoly, Script Analysis
		Ibsen was born on March 20, 1828, and schooled in Skien.
		Ibsen's characters, the critics pointed out, were recognizable people; their problems were familiar to the audience.
		Habitually and instinctively men pay Ibsen the compliment (so often paid to Shakespeare) of discussing her as though she were a real woman, living a life of her own, quite apart from the poet's creative intelligence.

	City Journal Summer 2005 \| Ibsen and His Discontents by Theodore Dalrymple
		Though Ibsen often claimed to be a poet rather than a social critic, lacking any didactic purpose, the evidence of his letters and speeches (quite apart from the internal evidence of the plays themselves) proves quite the opposite—that he was almost incandescent with moral purpose.
		Undoubtedly, Ibsen was pointing to a genuine and serious problem of the time—the assumed inability of women to lead any but a domestic existence, without intellectual content (and, in fact, the play was based upon a real case).
		Ibsen was not, in fact, a devotee of women’s rights: addressing a conference on the subject in Oslo, he said, “I have never written any play to further a social purpose.

		In Ibsen this transition occurs—when at all—quite unconsciously; he seeks direction for his "spiritual aristocrats" not in their social relationships but in their own "autonomous" wills.
		This environment was sufficiently defined to produce a negative reaction on Ibsen's part, but it was not defined enough—because it was not developed enough—to arouse in him a definite longing for something "new." That is why he was not able to utter those magic words which bring to life a picture of the future.
		Ibsen's principal shortcoming—his inability to find a way out from the field of individual ethics into the field of politics "absolutely must" have its reflection in his works: symbolistic, abstract and propagandistic elements.

		Pillars of Society (1877)-fifteenth of Ibsen's dramas, yet only the second to be neither wholly nor partly written in verse, nor set in the historical past-ranks in complexity and power well above its exuberantly farcical, satirically exaggerated predecessor in prose of eight years before, The League of Youth.
		Ibsen always remained aware of the extent to which human characters are moulded by the society they inhabit, but from "Rosmersholm" onwards, he focussed more on the characters' inner lives.
		Instead of re-using old myths, like Wagner or Joyce in their fields, Ibsen creates myths of his own: the white horses of Rosmersholm, for example, or the Master Builder who had defied God, but who dares not climb as high as he builds.

		So strongly did Ibsen feel on these matters, that in none of his works did he lose sight of them.
		These issues form the keynote to the revolutionary significance of his dramatic works, as well as to the psychology of Henrik Ibsen himself.
		It is, therefore, not a little surprising that most of the interpreters and admirers of Ibsen so enthusiastically accept his art, and yet remain utterly indifferent to, not to say ignorant of, the message contained in it.
