A Doll House
It is no denying the fact that Literature is the mirror of Society. In this
sense, if we look into Henrik Ibsen’s novel “A Doll House”, we will get into
the societies social and economic issue of early 20th century Norway.
Apparently, the novel had affected mainly by the Napoleonic code of
Conduct. This code conduct didn’t execute women’s Male as equality to the
men. In the reference of code of conduct,
omen could not become to a warrior, politicians. They were not even allowed
to take part in any economic strata of the society. The women were
considering to be born as a wife, mother and householders. On this account
women were succumb to political, social and economic suppression. When the
industrial revolution broke on 1870, women gave a thought to work in
industries. This aspiration of women gave them a spark of strike to fight
for economic right in the society.
In the determination of “A Doll’s House”, when Nora left her, children and
husband, it gives an accept of women’s new thought by becoming an individual. It’s not
only about living her husband and children, but leaving suppression, leaving
domestic oppression. Hence, from this point we come to how a woman who is
not economically independed Significantly, the scene of forgery in this play is nothing but a demand to
give women equal position in society and business.
A women can be envision as private domestically yet has inspirational
attitude for example, dynamic and courageous. The character of Nora gives a
positive picture about women when uncovers herself as independent and
brave. Ibsen has brought her into a challenge against the
patriarchy. When Nora says,
“I must stand on my own two feet. If I’m to get to know myself and the
world outside. That’s why I can’t stay here with you any longer.”
( Ibsen's Henrik, A Doll's House)
This is how the play become a vital source to trigger the feminists to
brush off the blind ideology towards women . Ibsen has
given the theme of feminism in the regard of economy.
