Theme of the book

• There are many themes in ‘A Doll’s

House’, one of the major one’s being the

theme of realisation which affects every

character in one way or another.

Is Nora actually a Doll in “A Doll’s House”?

•Obviously Nora is the character whose realisation creates

the ending of the story, but along the way all characters

realise something about themselves or each other.

Torvalds is the last character that the

theme of realisation affects and this

only occurs due to Nora’s realisation

of society and the world she lives in,

as this really what the play is about.

How Nora Stated To Realize That She Is a Doll

• She hide every thing but she don’t show

• Her husband all ways treat her like child but he came to know that she had bowered money.

WHY ARE WE SAYING NORA IS

A DOLL

seems happy and pleased with the society

that Torvald has created for her inside the

house

not to eating macaroons.

She is basic

ally

e a

child

which

no knowledge

of the outsid

e

world.
