Henrik Ibsen was born into a rich merchant type family. Although his family had been very rich before and when he was born, shortly after, things changed. A big problem in Henrik's childhood was that his father suffered from servere deppression. His mom became very religous as well. In his plays, he often makes the theme have something to do with financial problems, due to his problem as a child. His first play was the Tragedy Of Caroline.
Henrik Ibsen wrote realistic drama, and he was a poet as well. He was born in March-1828, and he died in March of 1906. Also, he was from Norway. Although he was a great writer and wrote many great plays, a lot of people saw them as being "scandalous." It may not seem like too much of a big deal that he wrote realistic drama, but in his time he was the first to do it. Many people often thought his plays were immorral, and outragous.
