A Doll’s House (Danish and Bokmål: Et dukkehjem; also translated as A Doll House) is a three-act play written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. It premiered at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 21 December 1879, having been published earlier that month. The play is set in a Norwegian town circa 1879.
The play concerns the fate of a married woman, who at the time in Norway lacked reasonable opportunities for self-fulfillment in a male-dominated world, despite the fact that Ibsen denied it was his intent to write a feminist play. It was a great sensation at the time, and caused a “storm of outraged controversy” that went beyond the theatre to the world of newspapers and society.
In 2006, the centennial of Ibsen’s death, A Doll’s House held the distinction of being the world’s most performed play that year. UNESCO has inscribed Ibsen’s autographed manuscripts of A Doll’s House on the Memory of the World Register in 2001, in recognition of their historical value.

A Doll’s House
Somehow, I never read this when I was in school. It seems the sort of book that teachers make you read.All of the characters in the play are flawed. The way Helmer is so quick to condemn Nora, and then a few minutes later tells her he forgives her. Why would he think she would forgive him for saying so many horrible things? And for so much of the play, Nora seems to delight as being seen as a silly, flighty woman. This makes her speech at the end a little confusing. If she resents being treated that way, why act that way?This was a quick read. I read it all in about one hour. I enjoyed reading it. The play gave me a lot to think about.

Enjoyed every second
It is a very modern book. It was based on the writer Henrik Ibsen knew. I loved it! Loved the ending too!

Excellent for reading, perhaps not the best academic translation
I ordered this for a research paper I was working on– I had an older edition of the play that was falling apart from use. While this is a perfectly acceptable edition for reading, I was somewhat disappointed to encounter some differences in this translation which altered the meaning of the text in certain scenes. As a result, I ended up citing a few different translations in my paper anyway. Overall, if you’re looking to read the play, it’s a great edition and the large print is easy to read, but I don’t think I would recommend this if you’re using it in an academic context.

Good kindle copy
Good copy, free (what’s better than that). Obviously it wasn’t the edition we followed in class but I was able to keep up. Translated well. Be sure to inform your teacher or professor that it is a kindle version specifically for works cited and in paragraph quotation purposes. Mla has a kindle citation guideline on their website. Powerful play. Amusing at points. Happy purchase.

1870s Feminist Movement
The cultural and contextual elements of this book are significant due to the time period. During the 1870s in Norway there was a feminist movement taking place which focused on the empowerment and self actualization of women. The play is a piece of breakthrough literature for the time and supported Ibsen’s views towards feminism. Based on the time setting this play conveys almost radical ideas and should be highly regarded.
