First Assignment

Hello! My name is Halah Mohamed. I have like watching The Tragedy of Julius Caesar most in our English class this year. Now onto A Doll's House. Henrik Ibsen lived between the year of 1828 to the year 1906. Ibsen's birthday is March 20,1828. He was born in Skien. Ibsen's father was an extremely respected general merchant until he went bankrupt in the year 1836. As soon as Henrik Ibsen turned 15, he moved to Grimstad. He supported himself by working as an apothecary's apprentice. He also studied during the nights for admission to the University.When Ibsen was only 23, was appointed director and playwright to a new theater of Bergen. 
Ibsen wrote A Doll's House during the time he was in Rome. This was in the year 1879. This play was preformed all throughout Europe and translated in many languages. Ibsen is responsible for spreading the realistic drama in a different way. Many believe that the plot of this play is based on Ibsen's real life. The author had liked a girl with the name of Laura kieler. She married some one else and a while later her husband gets sick and they diced to go on a vacation. Then she tells her husband the story and demands a separation. In the play Nora never brakes the news to her husband and she never returns home. I believe that the title of the Play relates to the house Nora meets her lover in.
