Henrik Ibsen in one of the most famous Norwegian writers thoughout the world. And he is known for his plays where he gives a critical view upon society.

In this play, everything happens around the main character Nora. She is innocent and has no education at all, just like most women of her social rank had at that time. Her husband, Torvald, is well known in the city, and his wife is just a "doll". She isn’t supposed to have opinions on anything, just smile and look pretty in this male dominated world.

When Torvald Helmer finds out that his wife has "stole" money from her father to be able to pay for a health insitution for him, he’s shocked. Nora does not understand what she might have done wrong and was only trying to help her husband, and yet protect her dying father. She wakes up, starting to feel independent, wanting to discover herself…

Ibsen was a master of showing different sides of the social levels, and giving a critic view on what he didn’t like. He has done it yet again, focusing on the marriage of these two people. Supression and a male dominated world are central aspects as well as growing feminism.
