5.0

I was surprised by the ending. Legit surprised. I fully expected Nora to kill herself, tbh. Specifically when she went to change out of her fancy dress, I thought Torvald would end his little monologue and find her hanged.

But no! Instead, against all my expectations, my girl dropped him and decided to live for herself.

This play is from the 70s. The 1870s. And wow. 

Ibsen denied this was a feminist work, but...idk death of the author and whatever.

5 stars
