Summary: A controversial therefore exciting theme.
Comment: Isben's choice of subject matter, theatrical style and characterisation caused much controversy amoungst audiences at the time, but is an intereting topic to observe now, considering the rapid change that women are experiencing, concerning independence.
When reflecting on the time it was written, women were considered merely an 'accessory' for their husbands, a sculpture that they would mould to perfection. It is interesting, when realizing how much society has changed, the fact that women have more freedom, in many aspects, in this case who they want to spend the rest of their lives with, and for what reason. To be more than just a 'featherbrain' to their husbands, and to partake in a mutal relationship, where equal input is evident.Revealing these issues at the time, and over-coming them now, is thought provoking, and indeed a controversial topic.
You don't hear many cases nowadays about a woman marrying someone against her own will, and being dis-satisfied for most of her life, as women are slowly gaining more independence.
The theme is very thoughtfully depicted, and sustains interest amoungst all audiences.

Summary: Henrik Ibsen: An Underlying Theme
Comment: A Doll's House is an easy-to-read, interesting play but I was not particularly drawn to it. The dialogue and characters lacked excitement. However, the static setting did showcase an interesting plot. Despite the lackluster personalities and conversations, I was drawn to the conflict Ibsen presented: the state of confusedness Nora slipped into in considering whether it was right to listen to the blatantly biased society she lived in, which revolved around men or to follow her own natural instincts. She had forged with good intentions, but the reality of her action caught up with her. In Nora's world, a world driven by her husband's needs, desires, and commands, she believes she is helping him by taking out a loan. The laws, accusation, judgings are all man made, preventing her from ever getting away with her well-meant deeds. I was thoroughly impressed by Ibsen's underlying themes, especially in his time of reservedness and anti-feminism. He accurately depicted the lifestyle of so many women in his time: as mere playthings, objects of desire, moved about in a cookie-cutter dollhouse by manipulative husbands. A Doll's House can be regarded not only as an accurate portrayal of life for women but also as a social commentary on the wrongs of it.
