| Summary |
Nora is sheltered first by her father and then by her husband. All her life, she has been protected like a fragile possession ... like a doll in a doll's house. After she marries, Nora becomes frustrated, realizes that under the dominance of her husband she will never have an identity of her own, and leaves to find a new life for herself. |
|
Nora is the pampered wife of aspiring bank manager Torvald Helmer whose career has been financed in part by his wife's funds. In a desperate attempt to hold her family together, Nora once forged a loan signature and now finds herself blackmailed. She remains confident, however, that Torvald will stand by her no matter what the outcome. His reaction, though, is not what she expects and alters her life forever. |
