A Doll's House is a masterpiece by the famous Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen. Henrik Ibsen, born in 1828 and died in 1906, was the founder of modern European theatre. His work emphasizes the happiness of the individual in life, ignoring the trite etiquette of traditional society.
A Doll's House is set in family life, and through the entanglement between the heroine Nala and her husband Helmao, it profoundly reveals the ethical relationship and moral concept of family in the society at that time. In the play, Nala is a kind, beautiful, and intelligent woman who does not hesitate to give up her career and dreams for the sake of her family, and dedicates herself to her husband and children. However, in Helmao's eyes, Nala is just a doll without a mind and freedom of her own. Disappointed and distressed by Helmao's hypocrisy and selfishness, Helmer eventually decides to run away from home and find her own life.
A Doll's House was inspired by Ibsen's keen observation of the social phenomena of the time. Through the image of Nala, he revealed the status and plight of women in the family, and called for attention to the rights and dignity of women. At the same time, Ibsen also used the image of Helmer to criticize the hypocrisy and selfishness that were prevalent in society at that time. He hopes that through this play, people will be aroused to think about morality and human nature, and promote the progress and development of society.
A Doll's House is a great theatrical work with deep ideological connotations. It tells us that family life is not simply about joy and happiness, but about the joint management and efforts of both husband and wife. Only by respecting, understanding and supporting each other can we build a harmonious and happy family.
