A Doll's House

The play challenges 19th-century marriage norms through the journey of Nora, who ultimately leaves her husband and children to seek self-discovery. Ibsen critiques a male-dominated society that restricts women's identities and highlights a broader theme of individual self-realization. While often associated with women's rights, Ibsen emphasized that his focus was on the universal need for individuals to understand and fulfill their true selves. The controversial conclusion sparked significant debate upon its premiere, reflecting the societal tensions of the time.
