About this ebook
A Doll’s House is a three-act play written by Henrik Ibsen in the late 19th century, focusing on Nora Helmer’s marriage to Torvald and the struggles of gender roles, deception, and identity within societal expectations. At the start, Nora cheerfully prepares for Christmas, revealing her childlike demeanor while Torvald exhibits a patronizing affection. Beneath this surface lies a hidden truth: Nora has secretly taken out a loan to save her husband’s life, which becomes the central source of conflict. The arrival of her old friend Mrs. Linde and the involvement of Krogstad heighten the tension and complexity of the narrative. Ultimately, the play portrays Nora’s awakening and her quest for freedom against the backdrop of rigid social conventions.

His major plays such as A Doll’s House, Ghosts, An Enemy of the People, and The Wild Duck stirred great controversy in their time. His dramas emphasize themes of individual freedom, responsibility, and the struggle for truth, remaining widely performed across the world today. Ibsen is regarded as a revolutionary figure who transformed the form and substance of theater, leaving a profound legacy in both literature and drama.
