Ibsen bought a portrait of Strindberg, retitled it “The Outbreak of Madness,” and hung it above his writing desk. “He is my mortal enemy,” Ibsen told a friend, “and shall hang there and watch while I write." - **Watch at 0:17**: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiiaed3puhY&t=17s) ### Example 5 > "Meet Henrik Ibsen.

Ibsen decided that prose is for reality, “verse for visions,” and he started writing plays about bourgeois people in trouble - which incidentally is also the rejected first title for House Hunters International. First, Ibsen wrote “The Pillars of Society,” and then “A Doll’s House,” “Ghosts,” and “An Enemy of the People.” “People demand reality,” Ibsen wrote." - **Watch at 2:03**: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiiaed3puhY&t=123s) ### Example 7 > "Bourgeois people OUT of trouble. Ibsen’s plays end by revealing the bourgeois family as a sham.

Ibsen continued to write prose dramas, but in his late plays, like “The Wild Duck” and especially “When We Dead Awaken,” he returned to a kind of mystical symbolism. Ducks aren’t just ducks, mountains aren’t just mountains." - **Watch at 7:18**: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiiaed3puhY&t=438s) ### Example 10 > "And it’s worth noting that, even though they loathed each other personally, they did kind of sneakily admire each other’s work. Ibsen couldn’t deny that Strindberg had real talent. And Strindberg once wrote that since Ibsen had written a play as good as “Ghosts,” it was impossible to hate on him completely." - **Watch at 12:12**: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiiaed3puhY&t=732s) ## How to Pronounce "ibs" - **Syllables**: ibs - **IPA**: `/aɪ.biːˈɛs/` - **Listen for**: the stressed syllable in the clips above — notice how surrounding sounds blend in natural speech. ## Related Pronunciations [iba](https://sayitvid.com/pronounce/iba), [ibb](https://sayitvid.com/pronounce/ibb), [ibc](https://sayitvid.com/pronounce/ibc), [ibd](https://sayitvid.com/pronounce/ibd), [ibad](https://sayitvid.com/pronounce/ibad), [iban](https://sayitvid.com/pronounce/iban), [ibat](https://sayitvid.com/pronounce/ibat), [ibex](https://sayitvid.com/pronounce/ibex) ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How do you pronounce “ibs”? “ibs” is pronounced /aɪ.biːˈɛs/ (ibs).
