Summary "A Doll's House" by Henrik Ibsen is a play written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around Nora Helmer, a seemingly carefree woman whose life takes a turn as hidden truths and societal expectations surface, challenging her marriage and self-identity. The characters’ interactions, especially with Nora's husband Torvald, set the stage for exploring themes of gender roles, independence, and the moral complexities of societal norms. The opening of the play introduces the domestic setting of the Helmer household during Christmas time. Nora is seen in high spirits, eagerly preparing for the holiday and her husband's promotion at the bank, revealing her playful relationship with Torvald. As she interacts with him and her friend Christine, hints of Nora's deeper struggles emerge, particularly regarding a secret loan she has taken to save Torvald's life. This sets up a tension as her past actions and their consequences loom, laying the groundwork for the emotional and ethical dilemmas that will unfold later in the narrative.
