Thoughts on the ending of A Doll’s House
Now that we’ve finished watching the Digital Theatre performance of A Doll’s House, completed reading our translation of Ibsen’s text and read the alternative German ending (Wow! It’s miraculous how much we can get through in a few weeks!) what are your thoughts on Ibsen’s conclusion?
Paying particular attention to the context (Late 19th century Europe) which ending do you believe best fits the societal norms? Additionally, how did you feel as a 21st century reader, when Nora slammed the door on her life?
Leave your much-valued comments below 🙂
P.S Big thank you to Alexis and Elisa for their in-class performance as Helmer and Nora this week!
