Ibsens A Dolls House

Emmeline Pankhurst

Answer 1

Ibsen's A Doll's House deals with a housewife, Nora Helmer, who finally becomes disillusioned with her male chauvinist husband, Torvald, and leaves him, at least temporarily. (The last "line" of the play is the offstage sound of a closing door.) What brings their relationship to a head is his reaction to the discovery that, several years ago, Nora forged her dying father's signature (as co-signer) to her application for a loan that enabled her and Torwald to go to a warmer climate for his health. (She has since repaid the loan, mainly by scrimping on household expenses, with the result that Towvald constantly teases her about being unable to handle money.) Torvald sees this "moral lapse" on Nora's part as a threat to HIS image and integrity, and when Krogstad, the man who holds the loan documents, sends them back to her, Torvald (who also has the only key to their mailbox) exclaims, "I'm saved!" (Want to kick him in the behind yet?) It's at that point that she walks out.

Another way in which the play deals with women's issues is that when Kristine Linde, a widowed friend of Nora's, seeks a job as a bookkeeper in Torvald's bank, he finds the idea of a woman bookkeeper an amusing novelty--but he does hire her. (Krogstad's change of heart, incidentally, occurs when Kristine agrees to marry him--rather ironically in the context of this play, he is "redeemed by the love of a good woman.")

Emmeline Pankhurst was a leader in the British women's rights (especially suffrage) movement. For more on her, check this link:
