A Doll’s House

A Doll’s House is a groundbreaking play by Henrik Ibsen, first performed in 1879. It tells the story of Nora Helmer, a seemingly content wife and mother who gradually realizes her life is constrained by societal expectations and her husband’s patronizing control. Nora’s ultimate decision to leave her family shocked audiences and sparked intense debates about gender roles, marriage, and individual freedom. Ibsen’s realistic dialogue and psychological depth marked a turning point in modern drama, and A Doll’s House remains a powerful exploration of self-discovery and emancipation.
