    • 2 Pages

    A Doll’s House In A Doll’s House by Henrick Ibsen‚ money symbolizes what some characters seek or have gotten into problems over. It seems that this whole play revolves around it and drama is created because of it. The common saying “money can’t buy happiness” is proven untrue in the beginning of this play when one of the main characters‚ Nora‚ is always joyous and perky when she convinces her husband to give her more money. Throughout this play‚ money forces characters to show their true selves

It starts with Torvalds reading the letter about her borrowing the money and Nora’s secret is finally exposed.
