Recommended: Importance of characterization in short stories

The Doll House The first characteristic of a modern short story is that the story emphasizes subtle characterization rather than a fast-paced plot.

Extended out to most children is the hand of a parent offering a warm hug along with warnings of danger to their children. This is what any fit parent would do.

Ibsen also uses realism and naturalism, portraying the Helmer’s Marriage through authentic relationships, which are relatable to the audience. In A Doll’s House, Nora represents 19th century women entrapped by society to fulfill wifely and motherly obligations, unable to articulate or express their own feelings and desires.
