Doll's house

Author Ibsen, Norwegian playwright.

A Doll's House is Ibsen's masterpiece on women's issues, and it also represents his highest ideological and artistic achievements. The play describes the heroine Nora borrowing money by forging her father's signature in order to treat her husband. Eight years later, her husband Haier Mao, who just became a bank manager, decided to fire krogh, a bank employee. Krogh Stein was the creditor of that year, and the creditor wrote to Haier Mao to threaten him. After Haier Mao knew it, he was afraid of affecting his future and reputation, and angrily denounced Nora as a "lying bitch" and ruined his "happiness in life". When the creditor voluntarily returned the IOUs under the influence of Nora's girlfriend, Mrs. Dānlín (Krogstad's old lover), Haier Mao smiled at his wife, calling her his "bird" and "little baby" and claiming that he had "forgiven" his wife. But Nora has seen through Haier Mao's extreme selfishness and hypocrisy, realized that she is only his doll, no longer trusted him, and left this "doll house" decisively and bravely.

Ibsen deeply exposed the hypocrisy and irrationality of laws, religions, morality, love and marriage in capitalist society through the story of Nora's awakening and running away, and put forward the problem of women's liberation from male slavery. Nora is a gentle and kind woman. In order not to worry her sick father and husband, she forged her father's signature and lent her money to treat her husband. For many years, she silently endured hardships, taking her husband's hobby as her own hobby and her husband's happiness as her own happiness. She thought that her husband loved her, was very happy, and was content to be her husband's "little baby". When the creditor threatened, Nora waited for a "miracle": her husband would bravely stand up and protect himself. But the miracle didn't happen and Nora was completely disappointed. Haier Mao is a male chauvinist at home and a defender of bourgeois morality, law and religion in society. On the surface, Haier Mao is a "gentleman" and a "model husband", who seems to love his wife very much. In fact, he just regarded Nora as an ornament and private property. What really matters is his reputation. Ironically, in order to express his "love" for his wife, Haier Mao even claimed that he hoped for a huge disaster and gave him a chance to show his "real man". The play exposes the hypocrisy of bourgeois marriage and affirms Nora's departure, which is of progressive social significance. In fact, under the historical conditions at that time, Nora was able to support herself by her own work like Mrs. Dānlín after she left. But how to truly liberate women, Ibsen is not clear. He only raised problems in the play, but he didn't propose a solution. However, when he tried to put forward a solution to the problem (such as "A Lady at Sea"), his solution was wrong and unrealistic.

The theme of the script is prominent, the characters are distinct, the structure is tight and the plot is concentrated. The development of contradictions is both reasonable and orderly. The author arranges the plot within three days before and after Christmas to highlight the contrast between the festive atmosphere and the family tragedy. The main line is that Krogstein, a bank employee who was dismissed by Haier Mao, used IOUs to coerce Nora to keep her job for him, which led to the interweaving of various contradictions among the characters, and made the heroine experience a fierce and complicated inner struggle in just three days: from calm to chaos, from fantasy to rupture, and finally realized self-awakening, thus achieving a very strong dramatic effect.
