    The Doll House Essay Role play seems to be the name of the game in Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House. The main characters in the play pretend to be someone who others would like them to be‚ instead of being their true selves. The person that stands out the most as a character whose role play is almost impeccable to the point where it seems she leads two different lives is Nora. She is Torvald’s loving and childish wife‚ and unknowingly‚ a strong‚ independent woman. As the play progresses‚ Nora’s persona

Women did not have the same freedoms that they have today‚ in spite of the fact that they were strong and intelligent. Nora used this strength and intelligence in play and was punished for it. The play opens up with Nora arriving home and being greeted by her husband in a condescending manner.

    Yen Chun Lee Theatre 200 A Doll’s House “A Doll’s House”‚ the name of the play‚ certainly straightforwardly points out Nora’s position at home. This play critically shows how low women’s position is in the nineteenth century. One of the biggest ironies is the attitude that Nora’s husband has towards her when he finds out what she’s done for him. From the modern perspective‚ it’d be considered really considerate of Nora to borrow money from other people for her husband. When there’s a challenge
