Ilgi domāju, vai likt četras vai tomēr piecas zvaigznītes. Izšķīros par četrām, jo darbos, kas saistīti ar sieviešu emancipāciju, attieksmi pret sievietēm ("Leļļu namā" gan mazāk, bet jo īpaši "Džeinā Eirā" vai ar nabadzību, bārenību saistītajās "Lielajās cerībās"), viss kaut kā atrisinās pats no sevis, nevis tāpēc, ka galvenie varoņi būtu izcīnījuši savu ceļu. Varbūt tas saistīts ar konkrēto rakstnieku ticību Dievam, karmai vai kam citam, bet kopā tomēr kaut kas nelīmējas.

I think I would've hated this if it hadn't been discussed in class. I would have been absolutely disgusted by the ending. But I'm glad I had a chance to read it in class and discuss it.

I need to read more plays from the 1800s. Very silly (also yayy feminism)

The exact depiction of a doll to a human is reflected through Ibsen's Nora. Writing in that time, it is probably the first feminist text that really made a difference in approach and ridiculed Patriarchal lunacy through Torvald and Nora's relationship.

Incredibly brave story for it’s time. Perhaps I expected more from it but nevertheless I wasn’t disappointed. Quick to read but not vague. And I loved the commentary by Non Worrall.

Fell in love with Ibsen when I first read this sometime during my freshman year, in 1966-67. A couple of years later in the Yale Art Museum, some friends and I came across a large portrait of Ibsen -- with his large, muttonchop sideburns, he seemed impossibly cool and hip for 1969.
In the first two acts, it almost reads like a sitcom, straight out of I Love Lucy or I Married Joan. (You'll have be of a certain age to get both those references.)
But, in the end, Nora turns any comfortable expectations we had on their heads. I, for one, have to love her.
Reads just as well from my view now as it did in the 1960s foothills of the women's liberation movement.
