Ibsen's plays can be best described by the phrase "Gritty dramas reflecting the lives of normal people". Henrik Ibsen was a Norwegian playwright, often referred to as the father of realism. In his plays, the protagonists are commonplace and normal people, who are forced to lose their disguise and expose their true self. The events of their lives form a drama that depicts life as it truly is, without any idealization or embellishments.
