Brief introduction of Ibsen
Ibsen (1828 ~ 1906) is a Norwegian dramatist. 1828 was born on March 20th, 2008 in a wealthy timber merchant's family in Sheehan, the southeast coast of Norway. When I was 8 years old, my family moved to a small farm in northern Shane because my father went bankrupt. 1844, 16-year-old Ibsen was forced by life and went to a coastal town in the south to work as an apprentice in a drugstore. After heavy work, he studied hard and delved into literary and artistic creation. The decline of his family background and the low status of his apprentice gave him a profound understanding of society and he could not help expressing his anguish and feelings in the form of poetry. 187 1 year, he selected these poems into the collection of poems by Henri Ibsen.

185 1 year, Ibsen was hired as the director of Bergen Theatre on the recommendation of a friend. From 65438 to 0857, he was transferred to the Capital Theatre as a director. The theater went bankrupt on 1862. He borrowed money to make ends meet, but he still worked tirelessly. He left Norway on 1864 and lived in Rome, Dresden and Munich. 27 years later, 189 1, Ibsen returned to China to settle down. 1906 died in Oslo, Norway.

Ibsen wrote his first play "Katie Lacey" in 1850, and published his last play "When we wake up after death" in 1899. During his 50-year creative career, he has published 25 plays, including poetic plays, tragedies, comedies, historical plays and problem plays. His plays have a wide range of themes, profound thoughts and exquisite artistic skills, which have had a far-reaching impact on world drama and are known as the "father of modern drama".

Ibsen's creation can be divided into three stages: prophase, metaphase and anaphase. His early works (185O- 1868) are based on ancient the legend of heroes, folk songs and myths, with diverse themes, full of fantasy and romance, such as Madame Inge of Esterro, Romantic Comedy, Blonde and Pearl Gold. 19 After the 1970s, the political and social contradictions in western bourgeois countries deepened day by day, and his works entered the stage of social drama with realism as the main theme, that is, the middle stage (1809- 1890), which pointed the sharp edge of exposure and criticism at the whole capitalist society. His major plays include Social Pillar, A Doll's House and Group.

Ibsen's later works (189 1- 1906) focus on the inner activities of the characters. Ibsen's profiles, such as Heda Gable and the architect, are more symbolic and pessimistic.
