The background of what happened after Nora left;
Although A Doll's House is called the declaration of women's liberation movement and Ibsen "caused" a storm of women's liberation, A Doll's House only ended with Nora leaving, the door slammed and the play ended. Ibsen didn't know what would happen after she left. He even understated: "I didn't mean that when I wrote that article, I just wrote poetry." In this regard, Mr. Lu Xun put forward a century proposition and issued an unresolved question, that is, "What happened after Nora left?"
Mr. Lu Xun keenly discovered this major social problem, that is, if there is no money in the pocket and no economic strength, there are only two endings after a woman leaves: one is depravity, and the other is coming back. Only when women really master the economic power, participate in social life, do not confine themselves to small families, and do not regard marriage as a woman's only occupation can they truly gain "liberation" and "freedom".
Lu Xun said, "What happened after Nora left?" After the discussion, it did not attract enough attention, so two years later, he published a novel "Regret for the Past", describing the "how" result after Juansheng and Zijun left. This is Lu Xun's only novel about love and marriage between men and women. We can even say that it was after raising the question "What happened after Nora left" that Lu Xun once again mentioned and discussed his views, hoping that the public at that time, especially the female compatriots, could take a warning.
