A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen

Product Details

About the Book

A Doll's House follows Nora Helmer, a seemingly content wife and mother who appears, on the surface, to live a happy, comfortable life with her husband Torvald and their children in nineteenth-century Norway. But beneath the cheerful facade of their marriage lies a secret: years earlier, Nora secretly borrowed money to save Torvald's life, forging her father's signature to do so, and has been quietly repaying the debt ever since. When Krogstad, the man who lent her the money, threatens to expose her secret unless she helps him keep his job at Torvald's bank, Nora's carefully constructed world begins to unravel.

As the truth comes to light, Nora is forced to confront the reality of her marriage and her place within it, realizing that she has spent her entire life being treated as a doll — first by her father, then by her husband — never allowed to develop as a fully independent person. In one of the most famous and controversial endings in theatrical history, Nora makes a radical decision that shocked audiences upon the play's 1879 premiere and continues to provoke discussion today. A cornerstone of modern realist drama, A Doll's House remains a searing, still-relevant examination of marriage, autonomy, and a woman's right to selfhood.
