Nora Helmer is a dutiful young wife and mother of three children
whose attempt to secure her family's future may ultimately lead to
its destruction. Ibsen's play explores female identity and
independence in a male dominated society. The Helmer family
consists of Torvald and Nora, as well as three children: Ivar,
Bobby and Emmy. From the outside, they appear to live a happy and
idyllic life. Yet, a secret from Nora's past threatens to destroy
everything she loves. One of Torvald's employees blackmails Nora,
hoping she can influence her husband in the workplace. When she
doesn't succeed, Torvald is informed of her misdeeds. This leads to
a life-changing confrontation that forces Nora to reevaluate her
marriage and desire for a family. A Doll's House a one of Ibsen's
most forward-thinking plays. It was deemed scandalous for its
depiction of a wife who prioritizes her own well-being over others.
It's an insightful examination of how gender roles dominated
nineteenth century Europe. With an eye-catching new cover, and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of A Doll's House
is both modern and readable.
