This Henrik Ibsen play will have you pondering for days. There’s no actual ghosts in Ghosts; it’s about the secrets and lies that haunt people even decades later. The plot centers on Mrs. Alving, a widow whose life was never perfect — and oh, does it get worse with the beginning of a revelation of past hidden truths.
The strength of this play lies in how it demonstrates that the true “ghosts” in the life are not frightening spirits, but rather, what we try to conceal — past mistakes, regrets and untold stories.

Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House is a beautifully written play, and the character of Nora is truly remarkable. Henrik Ibsen does a good job showing how the expectations placed on women by society and reflect the patriarchy and gender roles of his time.
Spoiler alert there are few lines I took from the book so go ahead only if you have read the book otherwise it can be a sort of spoiler.
I adore the response of Nora when she and her husband has conversation
Where Nora questioned....
Nora: What do you consider my most sacred duties?
Helmer: Do I need to tell you that? Are they not your duties to your husband and your children?
Nora: I have other duties just as sacred.
Helmer: That you have not. What duties could those be?
Nora: Duties to myself

"Ahhh, well, I really enjoyed reading this one! The most interesting part was when Rika Machida, a journalist and the main protagonist of the novel, wrote a letter to murder suspect Manako Kajii requesting a specific recipe. Despite Kajii refusing media interviews, but she was not able to stop herself from responding to Rika."
The novel also shows the darker side of Japan—beyond its celebrated culture and beauty—by exploring themes of gender roles, media sensationalism, and the power of food.
