"A Doll's House" is a drama written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. The play is a typical social issue play, which mainly revolves around the awakening of Nora, the heroine who was favored in the past, and finally ends with Nora's running away.
The drama "A Doll's House" explores the bourgeois marriage problem through the process of the heroine Nora and her husband Helmer's transition from mutual love to breakup, and exposes the relationship between patriarchal society and women's liberation. The contradictions and conflicts between people have further challenged the religion, law, and morality of bourgeois society, inspiring people, especially women, to break free from the shackles of traditional concepts and fight for freedom and equality.
Character Life
The heroine in the play "A Doll's House" has been married to Helmer for 8 years, has three daughters, and is silent in the happiness of family life. In order to raise money for her husband's medical treatment, Nora forged her father's signature and secretly borrowed a sum of money from Krogstad. Afterwards, Nora kept this secret. She saved her pocket money and secretly copied documents for people to pay off her debts.
Helmer was originally a lawyer and had always been very affectionate to his wife. After becoming a bank manager, he decided to fire his clerk Krogstad. In order to keep his position, Krogstad blackmailed Nora into interceding for him with a fake signature. Nora's efforts are fruitless, and Krogstad writes a letter to Helmer to expose Nora for borrowing money under her false name. Helmer was furious and scolded her for ruining his life's happiness and future. Later, Krogstad accepted the persuasion of his old lover Mrs. Lin Dan (Nora's good friend) and wrote a letter to return the IOU.
When the danger passed, Helmer changed his face again and resumed the intimacy of the past. Nora has seen through Helmer's hypocritical soul and her doll-like status in the family, and resolutely leaves this "doll's house".
