Ellante... Husband and wife are mutual. With respect, love and trust. They live for each other. And if it's a doll... all the characters are lying there like dolls as told by the owner. Norwegian writer Henrik Ibsen wrote the play 'A Doll's House' hundred and fifty years ago to understand this difference. Ibsenway is known as 'The Father of Modern Drama' whose plays are the most performed after Shakespeare.
The play starts with Nora coming home after Christmas shopping. Her husband Tarwalt says that he spends a lot on everything she brings. Now that the promotion has come, Nora can spend it. Meanwhile her friend Lind comes to see her after a long time. Telling all her sorrows, she asks him to give her a job as she has lost her husband and is alone. Nora also shares a secret with a friend. She says that she had to go on a trip to Italy for her husband's health, and she borrowed money from someone and paid off the debt in installments without the knowledge of her husband. After that she asks her husband to give Lind a job. After a while, Kragstad, who works in a bank, comes to Tarwalt. Nora took a loan from him. In those days women were not free to conduct financial transactions. Men's signature is mandatory. So Nora not only forges her father's signature but also puts the date after her father's death on the note by mistake and gets caught by Krogstad. He is going to block it and blackmail her. Tarwalt threatens to tell her secret if he doesn't keep her job or fire her. Nora is unable to convince her husband. Kragstad writes a letter to Tarwalt explaining what happened. Seeing that, Tarwalt gets angry with his wife. He says that she has ruined his life, she has no right to raise his children, and he only takes her as a wife for the sake of the society. After Lind's intervention, Kragstad changes his mind and sends all the papers. Seeing that, Tarwalt sighs and says that he will forgive Nora. Nora thinks that her husband will stand up for her regardless of honor and will commit suicide for him. She leaves without listening to her husband's calls saying that he looks like a stranger who has no love for her except selfishness.
In the case of Ibsen's friend, the husband divorced her and put her in a mental asylum. Ibsen wrote this play in that background. But after some time she came out and became known as a great writer. Art critic James Huneker said that Bernard Shaw said that Nora went in search of self-respect, and the sound of Nora's door slamming the world. Feminist historian Miriam Sheiner included this story in feminist writings. Good dialogues and the way the personalities of the characters are developed make the play read non-stop. Discussions on it are also interesting.
