Hey everyone once again,
this entry will be about the themes of this play. I have talked about them already in previous entries, but I will try to go to more details now.

This book touches two unrelated themes. The first theme is the criticism of the 19th century as I have mention many times before. Ibsen was not satisfied with the way marriage was percieved and how husbands (and man generally) behaved to women and how they were seen. I would not say that this book is meant to support the women rights, even though it might seem like that to some. But I see it only as a description of an ideal family life in 19th century. He describes the way most families lived and how it was going in each of them. How the man had total control over his wife and how she was caring only for household. How man's role was important and woman was seen only as an accessory for him. Something to show that he is a good man, with good habbits and traits.

The second theme of this book is the "finding out who you are" thing and this is showed at the very end of the book. When Helmer tells Nora that she has sacred duties to him and children, she replies that she other sacred duties. Duties to herself, finding out who she is and try to become that. Try to become something more than a puppet played by someone. Try to become someone that can think over things and tries to understand them.
