In 'Nora oder Ein Puppenheim', Henrik Ibsen explores themes of identity, marriage, and societal expectations through the character of Nora Helmer. The play follows Nora's journey as she reveals a secret debt and faces blackmail, leading her to question her role in the family and ultimately decide to leave her husband and children. This dramatic work is a critique of the patriarchal society of the late 19th century and is known for its powerful portrayal of a woman's struggle for independence and self-discovery.

This play, first published and premiered in 1979, continues the story of Nora from Henrik Ibsen's 'A Doll's House'. It delves into how Nora navigates a society controlled by a small capitalist elite. Throughout the play, Nora's role is depicted through various male projections: wife, mother, worker, lover, whore, mistress, and business woman. Ultimately, Nora frees herself from her upper-class role as a wife and mother to become a factory worker, but she fails to fully participate in the exploitative capitalist society due to her ambitions. The play critiques societal structures and gender roles[3][5].
