2. Introduction
 The belief that women and men are, and have been,
treated differently by our society, and that women have
frequently and systematically been unable to participate
fully in all social arenas and institutions.
 A desire to change that situation.
 In A Doll’s House, we can observe the wave of feminism.

3. Literature Review
 Lora K and Julia write in their article “Women’s suffrage and
Feminism in A Doll’s House” that Nora lives in a world which
is controlled by men.
 As Helen Eisenstein explains: “men had become associated
with what was public through the workplace, politics, religion,
intellectual and cultural life” (1984: 20).
 Nora in every form exhibits a strong and unique personality,
whether or not she feels ownership of it or understands it
herself, Katrina Smithee in her article “A Doll’s House
Through the Window of Feminism”

4. Elements of Feminism in A Doll’s
House
 The first thing I noticed from a feminist standpoint is how Torvald
treats Nora. He treats her as if she is a child and does this in many
ways. For one thing he bans her from eating macaroons.
 HELMER: "Is it my little squirrel bustling about?" (1.9)
 She has to ask Torvald for money, and he even restricts how much he
gives her so she does not spend it fast.
 NORA: "Surely you can understand that being with Torvald is a little
like being with papa." (2.217)
 The next big thing I noticed from a feminist lens was that Nora is
constantly trying to please Torvald, almost as if it is her job to do so.
An example is how Nora is practicing dancing and dressing up really
nice for a dance at a party.

5. Elements of Feminism in A Doll’s
House
 The last major thing I saw through feminism is the
different roles women play in society compared to men.
Throughout the story I have noticed that women play less
of a role than the men do.
 Nora's flippant and apparent unthinking attitude all create
the picture of a woman unaware of her own worth
and dependent upon her husband but the audience knows
of her sacrifice and the risk she took when she secured the
loan which saved her husband's life.

6. CONCLUSION
 Hence, while it is often described as a feminist play and
does meet the criteria, Ibsen's intention was always to
show how each person is trapped in their own version of
truth - or at least the appearance of truth and the upholding
of an outward show of perfect domesticity.
