Henrik Ibsen, often hailed as the father of modern drama, transformed nineteenth‑century theatre with his bold realism and psychological insight. His plays challenged social conventions, dissecting issues of morality, gender, and individual freedom through sharply drawn characters and meticulous structure. Readers and theatre‑goers alike continue to find his work startlingly contemporary, as it confronts the conflicts between duty and desire that remain universal.
From the tension of domestic life in *A Doll's House* to the moral dilemmas of *An Enemy of the People*, Ibsen's writing exposes the hidden truths beneath everyday respectability. His influence resonates through generations of playwrights and novelists who followed, each indebted to his fearless exploration of human motivation and the cost of integrity.
