Set against the backdrop of 19th-century marriage norms, the play follows Nora Helmer, who secretly borrows money to save her husband, Torvald. When her deception threatens to be exposed by Krogstad, a bank associate, Nora's pleas to save him lead to escalating tension in her loveless marriage. The narrative critiques societal expectations and highlights the struggle for women's independence. Ibsen's controversial work advocates for women's rights, making it a significant piece in the discourse on gender roles. This edition features an introduction by William Archer.
