A Doll's House

Nora Helmer, wife of lawyer Torvald Helmer, lives the upscale average life of her time. In a "cozy and tasteful, but not luxurious" house that feels like a dollhouse. It's not all that non-luxurious either raising children, and even errands are run by servants. When Nora becomes aware of her life situation - today we would probably call it a midlife crisis - she leaves her husband and children. Such an act was more than daring in Ibsen's time - an actress refused to play Nora; the play was banned in England. Gr ls Classics - English Edition
