Oh Nora... Nora... No wonder you are the most read creature for drama pleasures. You are our christmas star

I'm still trying to come to terms with how I feel about this play. The plot definitely kept me intrigued, but I think character-wise I was hoping for something deeper. I expected a stronger female character than Nora or even Katherine, and even Nora's final decision didn't give me that. Also, the frivolity of the Helmer's marriage grated against my nerves, and by the end it was almost unbearable listening to Torvald go on about his "lark," his "little squirrel." Nevertheless, Ibsen does present some interesting challenges to the ideals about marriage and women of the time so all in all I'm glad I read the play.

Oijjoijoi va triggering. Noras man Helmer är en riktig asshole. Tyckte inte riktigt om dramat under berättelses gång (jobbiga karaktärer och gnäll gnäll gnäll) men slutet gjorde att jag nu ändå kan uppskatta och gilla Ett dockhem mycket.

This text is a classic for a reason. Nora's story is the story of many women - women who are treated as nothing but ornaments, without a brain of their own. This drama raises a lot of questions about society and female autonomy but it does it in a fast and engaging way.
