A Doll's House, by Henrik Ibsen, is a groundbreaking play exploring the complexities of marriage and societal expectations in 19th-century Norway.

Nora, the protagonist, initially appears content in her seemingly idyllic life with her husband Torvald.

However, a secret from her past threatens to unravel their carefully constructed reality.

The play delves into themes of identity, freedom, and the constraints placed upon women in a patriarchal society.

Ibsen masterfully portrays the psychological struggles of his characters, revealing their hidden desires and motivations.

Ultimately, Nora's decision to leave her family challenges conventional notions of duty and responsibility, sparking debate and interpretation for over a century.
