The play revolves around the theme of a woman’s place in society as opposed to the woman’s right to independence and individuality. To me, this play is Ibsen’s voice, raised to the world to say that it is time women are to be looked at as humans with feelings, and as an important part of society; that it is time they should be respected as equals, and not treated merely as possessions. This is a radical perception from a man of his era, and he does an excellent job portraying this messages through the plot and characters within the play.
