A_Dolls_House

A Dolls House “A Dolls House” Henrik Ibsen In the play, “ A Dolls House”, Henrik Ibsens core message is to evaluate society in the nineteenth century European life. The play shows notorious issues that the audience can relate to because they take part in the similar situations every day of their own lives. Unwittingly the leading actress solves the trouble at the end of the play and in some way sends a message to the audience on how to solve their own problems. Ibsen takes a look at the issues through a different angle in which his society never knew were ever really wrong to begin with. Ibsen takes a look at one critical thing in society, and that is women’s rights. Back in the society Ibsen wrote this play in, women were not supposed to borrow money or do anything “legal”. Women were supposed to be mute and leave this up to the men. (Example on page 1774, Literature Text, 8th Edition.) On this page (1774) Nora, the main character, supposedly borrowed the money for their trip from her father.
