Henrik Ibsen the author of A Doll’s House was born in Skien, Norway. He is known as the “founder of modern prose drama”. He moved away from the Romantic style, and brought the problems and ideas of the day onto the stage of his time. His life changed dramatically from prosperity to poverty when the boy was very young. He lost many family friends and devoted his life to theater and finally died on May 23,1906. Basically, with all his offerings to the theater have forever changed the history of the stage, as we know it.
In my opinion, I think the play will relate to the author by expressing his hard struggles through his life. It will also talk about the hard troubles of the middle class and how life was back then for them. The play will have a lot to do with the author because that's what most of his writing was known to be based around back then. Also, from the title of play I think the play will be about women or girls because that’s the first thing I think of when I hear dolls. To sum up, I feel it will be about the women’s struggle’s back then and how they went through all the problems he saw or experienced.
