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

This is not the feminist story everyone claims it is. I didn’t connect to the main characters however I liked Linda and her story. She is a little annoying but I feel sorry for her and Krogstad are sweet in the story. Really this story is a story of the issues within marriage not gender roles being challenged particularly.

Even though I read this for school, I really enjoyed it, made me think and feel things. I know Ibsen didn’t necessarily intend this to be feminist but he delivered. The language and all the talk about love in a marriage and what women had to do to keep the man happy, just made me realise the real set up.

well written? but boring as fuck

wonderful! nora is such an excellent character

I really enjoyed this, I think I would genuinely adore it live. I don't have a huge amount to say about it as it's a short enough read and I feel like the story itself is pretty self evident? Most of my comments are like how much I like the single setting and the use of stage directions and all that stuff.
