In these plays Ibsen treated social problems that reflect "his own inner needs on the one hand, and the Zeitgeist (the spirit of the age) on the other. Being in advance of the latter, he did not try to adjust himself to it, but rather to adjust it to himself, to his own demands and values.

These burning social issues were expressed in a realistic technique which is based on the abandonment of verse in favour of everyday prose, the realistic portrayal of characters to the extent of drawing on living models, the emphasis on discussion rather than external action, and the use or rather the perfection of technical devices such as the retrospective method which gives scope to the clash of ideas and narration rather than presentation of events.
