Good little play with a theme that's still relevant. I finished it 2 weeks ago and have been thinking about it ever since.

A fascinating play and a great edition which goes over the plot and themes tackled.
Finalmente, dopo averne letto qualche brano nelle raccolte antologiche delle superiori, ho recuperato anch'io la lettura di Casa di bambola di Henrik Ibsen. Sapevo già a cosa andavo incontro e, a grandi linee, l'idea della storia. Ma di certo il personaggio di Nora Helmer rimane sorprendente e smagliante in tutta la sua disarmante modernità: compare nelle prime scene con accenti fastidiosamente sciocchi e a tratti superficiali, ma col progredire della storia e, soprattutto, sul finale si trasforma, evolve in maniera vertiginosa, col memorabile coup de scène che ci mostra tutta la vitalità, la modernità del suo personaggio. A tutti gli effetti possiamo pensare a Nora come una delle eroine outsider della letteratura ottocentesca europea, di fianco a Emma Bovary e a Marguerite Gautier, solo per citarne un paio.

Me when Nora breathes: *Dies while screaming* "Yes, your majesty, you are my one and only queen."
This story... Holy fucking shit, the things it did to my brain as I was reading it. The character development of Nora?? Her actions being always centered around what's best for everyone but eventually understanding that she needs to be her own person, not just a doll or a toy-bird to play with?? I love her. She is so- screaming and crying. I love her.
This story probably should be finished with a bitter sweet feeling, some melancholy thought of what could have happened - but I am grateful and full of happinness. I am happy that all this ruin fell on Nora and her marriage, because she would have never understood her need to be herself if not for the pain she went through. The earth shattering knowledge that ever since childhood she was a toy for the men who controled her life was so well built into the story that I am shocked over how I could not have guessed this turn of events beforehand.
Nora is such a powerful character. This must be one of my favorite books. It made me feel complete.
