A Doll’s House: An 1879 Play by Henrik Ibsen

“You have never loved me. You have only thought it pleasant to be in love with me.” ― A Doll's House A Doll's House , a three-act play by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, is a seminal work in theatrical literature. It was first published in 1879 in Norwegian and premiered the same year. Set against rigorously defined societal norms and gender roles in 19th century Europe, the play revolves around Nora Helmer, a seemingly content and carefree wife and mother. Her life transforms dramatically as long-buried secrets and societal expectations are revealed. The play delves into the themes of gender inequality, marriage, and the repercussions of imposed social norms on individual freedom. Nora's quest for self-discovery and her decision to challenge societal norms by confronting her husband have rendered A Doll's House a provocative and enduring work of literature, still relevant in today's society.
