A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen

3.0

---

I didn't hate this play or anything but I do feel like the entire plot could have been adequately conveyed in 60 fewer pages, or better yet if it had actually been long enough to contain any kind of substantial plot at all. I understand that the significance of this play is due to it's radically controversial presentation of women (at the time), and I dont have any issues with the writing itself, but that doesn't really make up for the fact that there is next to no action, and a significant lack of characterisation for the other characters aside from Nora, throughout the entire play. I want to know more about the nurse! Or Mrs L, or the doctor, or just any of the characters actually. (Did the doctor die? It was unclear?)
