Beschreibung
A Doll s House is a play by Henrik Ibsen that examines the dynamics of power and societal expectations within marriage. The story follows Nora Helmer, a seemingly happy woman devoted to her husband, Torvald, and their children. However, Nora is hiding a secret: she had taken out an illegal loan to save Torvald's life, and now she is being threatened by her creditor, Krogstad. As events unfold, Nora begins to realize the limitations imposed by both society and her marriage, where she is treated like a doll or a prized possession by Torvald. In the play's climax, Nora makes a drastic decision that challenges societal norms and questions the role of women in her time, leaving Torvald and her children to seek her own identity and freedom. The play explores themes such as individual freedom, the role of women, emotional and financial dependence in relationships, and the quest for autonomy.
