Early career
Ibsen left school at the age of 15. He went to Grimstad, Maine, to become an apprentice pharmacist. He began writing plays at that time. When Ibsen was 18, he had a friendship with Else Sophie Jensdatter Birkedalen, which produced a son, Hans Jacob Hendrichsen Birkdalen, who was not paid for until the boy was fourteen years old, but Ibsen never saw Hans Jacob. Ibsen went to Christiania (later spelled Kristiania and then renamed Oslo) with the intention of matriculate at the university. He quickly dismissed the theory (his first attempts at transferring university were refused because he did not pass any of his entrance exams), opting instead to write. When he was only 22, his first play, "Brynjolf Bjarme," was released, but it was not well-received. The Burial Mound (1850), his first play to be staged, received no interest. Despite this, Ibsen was determined to be a playwright, but the numerous plays he wrote in the ensuing years were not successful. Ibsen's main inspiration in the early period, right up to Peer Gynt, was evidently Henrik Wergeland and the Norwegian folk tales collected by Peter Christen Asbjrn and Jrgen Moe. Wergeland was the most revered, Norwegian poet, and playwright in Ibsen's youth, and by far the most read, Norwegian poet, and playwright.
He spent the next several years at Det Norske Theater (Bergen), where he appeared in the production of more than 145 plays as a writer, director, and producer. He released five new, although largely unremarkable, plays during this period. Despite Ibsen's inability as a playwright, he gained a lot of practical experience at the Norwegian Theater, which was to be useful as he continued writing.
Ibsen returned to Christiania in 1858 to serve as the Christiania Theatre's creative director. He married Suzannah Thoresen on June 1858, and she gave birth to Sigurd, their only child. The couple lived in difficult financial circumstances, and Ibsen became dissatisfied with life in Norway.
