Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906) was a Norwegian playwright and poet, widely regarded as one of the founders of modern realistic drama. His plays, including A Doll's House, Ghosts, Hedda Gabler, and Peer Gynt, challenged social norms and explored themes of individual freedom, morality, and the conflicts between private life and public expectation. Ibsen's work had profound influence on modern theatre and literature across Europe and beyond.
