Analysis Of A Doll's House By Ibsen

“A Doll’s House” In Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House”, the author reveals the characterizations of Nora, Anne-Marie and Mrs. Linde in relating to women in nowadays societies, the women can be so childish, and some do not govern their own lives due to the lack of legal entitlement and independence and seeks the needs of truth to set others free. Nora or Mrs. Helmer is the protagonist of the play and the wife of Torvald Helmer. Nora has spent all her life doing what her husband had told her. She has three kids that are looked after by the nursery, Anne-Marie. She didn’t want to spend more times with her kids, her opinion that they may grow and learn by themselves.

Helmer. Anne didn’t have much money or depend on any legal entitlement, but she works to earn her living. Anne loves Nora and even loving and taking good care of Nora’s children. She has genuine affection for Nora. Anne’s attitude clearly shows when Nora said, “Oh, I wish I could tear it into a hundred thousand pieces” (Ibsen, p77). Anne replied, “Good gracious me, ma’am! Why it can be easily put to rights; it only wants a little patience” (Ibsen, p78).
