Henrik Ibsen was born in the Norwegian scene on March 20, 1828. He is the biggest of the five children. His father Knud was an outstanding businessman, but when Henrik was eight years old he got bankrupt. Therefore, Henrik Ibsen lived in poverty since he was very young. From 1851 to 1864 he was working at the Bergen Theater and now Oslo (which was then known as Christiania). In this work his economic situation is not good, but he gained valuable experience. In 1858, Ibsen married Susanna Tolleson and had a son with her. Ibsen's critic denounced him for failing to respect the "sacred bond" of marriage. Ibsen believes that her husband and wife should live together. In the 1950s when Ibsen worked at a Norwegian theater, it was a very pastoral era, in contrast to other European countries. However, Ibsen's work often induces society and its feelings. This brought about a separation from Norwegian society.
