Descrizione
When the couple was first married, Nora took out a well-intentioned but illegal loan from a bank employee named Krogstad, so that Torvald could travel to Italy to recover from illness. Nora has been working to pay it off ever since. Now, Krogstad has learned that Torvald intends to fire him from the bank. Enraged, he blackmails Nora into helping him save his job. If she refuses, he will make her shameful debt public. With this threat hanging over her, Nora's world starts to unravel, and she is forced to reevaluate her role as both a mother and a wife.
Henrik Ibsen's three-act play deals with female fulfillment and individuality and, as such, caused much controversy when it was first released in Victorian Copenhagen.

I still love it like I did when I was 19 reading it in my first year in college. I honestly understand it more now than I did then. At first I didn't like the fact she left the kids but now I understand why. She never felt like she was mother to them in the first place which she said. She always felt like they were her playthings like her father and then her husband treated her. It's not to say that once she discover who she truly is and what she believe that she won't come back for her kids and be a mother to them. I believe she would but she have to find herself in order to do that. This is why this play is consider fenmist cause at the end Nora did something that some women at that time dream of doing. Leaving to find themselves in this world. So A Doll's House is still one of my faves.
