First Assignment

The story of his life; Henrik Ibsen was born on March 20, 1828, in the little Norwegian village of Skien, the change in family circumstances from prosperity to poverty when the boy was eight years old, his studious and non-athletic boyhood, his apprenticeship to an apothecary in Grimstad, and his early attempts at dramatic composition, all these items are well known. In his spare time he got himself into preparation for entrance to Christiania University, where, at about the age of twenty, he formed a friendship with Bjornson. Around 1851 the violinist Ole Bull gave Ibsen the position of "theater poet" at the newly built National Theater in Bergen, a post which he held for six years. In 1857 he became director of the Norwegian Theater in Christiania; and in 1862, with Love's Comedy, became known in his own country as a playwright of promise. Seven years later, discouraged with the reception given to his work and out of sympathy with the social and intellectual ideals of his country, he left Norway, not to return for a period of nearly thirty years. He established himself first at Rome, later in Munich. Late in life he returned to Christiania, where he died May 23, 1906.

Title of the Book-"A Dolls House"

I think the title means a house were everything is perfect. In a dolls house everything is small and perfect and the doll most likely has everything she needs. Almost like an artifical world because in reality everything isnt perfect.
