A+Doll's+House

//**A Doll's House** //


 * //A Doll's House// was written by Henrik Ibsen in 1879. It is a three act play about a housewife who becomes disappointed and displeased with her patronizing husband.


 * This play caused outrage because people did not like the idea that a women could leave her husband and her children for any reason.
 * Ibsen was forced to write two endings to this play; one woith Nora leaving her husband and children and one with Nora staying for the sake of her children.


 * Although there was some outrage, there were some who loved and agreed with the play. Such as this critic, "Finally an event at The Royal Theater, and an event of the first class! This play touches the lives of thousands of families; oh yes there are thousands of such doll-homes, where the husband treats his wife as a child he amuses himself with, and so that is what the wives become. But what a tragic conflict the great playwright has created from it; each scene is full of suspense for the audience, one trembles for the dreadful day of reckoning."
