This story written by Henrick Ibsen has made it clear that in the late nineteenth century women were not treated equally to men. Men were stereotyped to be very overpowering‚ and they had most of the control where the women would tend to the husband’s needs and take care of the family. That was my impression based off of Nora and Torvald’s relationship. I would say though that these two did not have much of a relationship at all‚ they both lacked a depth of understanding when it came to one another

In the play “A DOLL’S HOUSE”‚ we are presented with a very idealistic version of life in the late 1800’s‚ and along with that‚ the very confined roles both men and women were placed into. “A DOLL’S HOUSE” lends proof to the fact that women do not always enjoy the freedom to say‚ do and choose a lifestyle that they find fulfilling. The story that the play presents sheds a very domineering light on males as heads of households‚ and in society in general‚ and portrays women as dependent and subservient
