4.5 classic empowerment stars
This is a near-perfect play. The majority of the characters are realized fully, they are true humans, with complex wants and needs. The doctor is driven by his most basic fears and wants, while also coming face to face with the ultimate feat- death. Torvald too is seen treating Nora like a child almost, trying to spoil her to keep her happy though that is not his true self. That gets revealed in the final act, with his outburst and the fear of losing complete (or any) control.
And then we have Nora. A classic heroine. A strong heroine, a thinking woman in a 20th century play. And she isn't the villain. For most of the play she is controlled by her circumstances. However, when the walls get too close and her fragile reality gets shattered, she is forced to face her situation: she has never been left the freedom to make her own choices. From her father's house to her husband's, her life was dictated for her. Until she finally puts her foot down.
In all honesty, Nora is one of the greatest theatrical characters ever created. And I wholeheartedly recommend this play to anyone remotely interested in theatre or even literature.

Para la época en la que está escrita, creo que plantea un final y un mensaje importante. Lo leí rápido y tampoco es difícil de entender pero, como guión de teatro, creo que me marcaría y brillaría más si lo veo en una puesta en escena. (•༝ •)

Elsker Nora i akt 1 fordi hun er legende og drømmende og leger gemmeleg og spiser makroner og i akt 3 fordi hun er sej
