Average rating3.7
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
