simply so that one can better analyze his writing. If the similarities between dramas by Ibsen can be proven‚ then it is legitimate to say that one could not only explore why those threads are common between the works‚ but also to discover other play writes that were influenced by Ibsen and picked up this commonality and implemented it similarly in their own works. This is adequate reason to examine what makes an Ibsen drama unique‚ or at least similar to his other works‚ and to expound upon such.

Shaw’s contributions to realism In 1891‚ Shaw writes The Quintessence of Ibsenism after seeing Ibsen’s A Doll House two years before. It is a criticism that tells us about Shaw more than Ibsen.

It is assumed to be the only “living‚ popular form” of Italian drama from 1700 to 1750. There were rules in writing librettos in opera seria’s time‚ but these rules were perceived as strange.
