Myself and Henrik Ibsen

hi, my name is Ali, and i live in Bloomfield, NJ. i liked one author and that was Vladimir Nabokov.

    Henrik Ibsen is the author of 'A Doll's House'. he was born in Norway on March 20, 1828, and died in Oslo in May 23, 1906 at 78. He is often referred to as "the father of realism" and is one of the founders of modernism in the theater. His play 'A doll's house" is the world's most performed play. he is known as one of the best playwrights,   comparable to Shakespeare. his work influenced  
such as George Bernard ShawOscar WildeArthur MillerJames Joyce, and Eugene O'Neill
    a doll house might be the main characters toy, and this said toy caused a lot of hoopla within the main characters family. a doll house could be a metaphor for a child controlling the dolls and creating a story with the dolls. if that happens i am not going to enjoy the story. the author could've related to the dollhouse, it could've been a family heirloom, or it was very close to him. or he made it up because it goes along with the story. the themes of this story are the following: Marrige, Women, men, home, reputation, love, lies, and money.
