A doll's house

Book • 1890
A Doll's House, a groundbreaking play by Henrik Ibsen, explores the themes of marriage, societal expectations, and female identity.

Nora Helmer, the protagonist, initially appears as a playful and submissive wife, but her character undergoes a profound transformation as she confronts the limitations of her role.

The play challenges the patriarchal norms of 19th-century society, highlighting the constraints placed upon women and their lack of autonomy.

Nora's eventual departure from her marriage is a radical act of self-discovery and a powerful statement about women's need for independence and self-realization.

Ibsen's work sparked significant debate and controversy upon its release, and it continues to be studied and performed worldwide.
