Publisher's Synopsis
""A Doll's House"" is a play written by Henrik Ibsen, first published in 1879. The play centers around Nora Helmer, a young wife and mother who appears to have a perfect life. However, as the play progresses, it becomes clear that Nora is not as content as she seems. She is hiding a secret from her husband, Torvald, and her past mistakes threaten to destroy her seemingly idyllic life. The play explores themes of gender roles, societal expectations, and the search for personal identity. It is considered a groundbreaking work of feminist literature, as Nora's struggle for independence and self-discovery was radical for its time. The play's controversial ending, in which Nora leaves her husband and children, sparked debate and outrage when it was first performed. However, it has since become a classic work of theater, with numerous adaptations and productions worldwide. Overall, ""A Doll's House"" is a thought-provoking and powerful play that challenges traditional gender roles and societal norms. It remains relevant and impactful today, over a century after its initial publication.That is like a woman! But seriously, Nora, you know what I think about that. No debt, no borrowing. There can be no freedom or beauty about a home life that depends on borrowing and debt.
