    A doll’s house Costume I think the costumes used in ‘A doll’s house’ were quite symbolic and symbolized the characters various roles in society. When we first see Nora she is wearing a shiny blue dress which shows she is well off which gives the audience the idea that she has a degree of elegance about her. In those times women dressed modestly and this was an example of the types of clothes they were supposed to wear while around the house. They were expected to cook‚ clean and look after

Torvald seems to be a very moral man and very selfless when actually he is a coward and only thinks of himself. Krogstad appears to be a villain but changes his heart and is indeed a very understandable man. Each of these characters were given a certain

    December 1‚ 2013 Period 3 A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen is my favorite play that we read this semester. A main reason I liked this play was because of the writer himself. Ibsen is a realistic writer who took his problems from his day and brought it to life on stage. A Doll’s House deals with where women stand in their marriage and society. Ibsen felt injustice to what society was doing around him. A Doll’s House is about a Married couple named Nora and Torvald. Nora borrows a lot of money from
