We often walk through life hidden behind masks. These disguises shield our insecurities, our pain, our flaming anger, our fear, and even our underlying desires for change. Through an extensive journey in which we increase our self-awareness and harness our own internal strength, we can shed ourselves of these false façades and live true to ourselves. Nora Helmer, a woman in the late 1800s, undergoes a process much like this. In the play, “A Doll’s House,” the author, John Cheever, utilizes the metaphor of the play’s title in addition to the symbolism of the Christmas tree and Nora’s wardrobe change in order to depict this journey and work toward a larger theme of identity.

During this time period, women were left home to oversee the domestic duties, while men went to commuted to work (Hughes). Men were seen as physically superior but morally inferior to women; which is also portrayed within this book (Hughes).

This “modern tragedy” helped make Ibsen famous internationally because of the real-life story it captured (Kirszner and Mandell 882).

Henrik Ibsen wrote the play A Doll’s House in 1879. In the play Ibsen describes how the society trapped women in marriages and how they carry no value to the family.

They have three small children. Early in their marriage Torvald became seriously ill, and the doctors advised a stay in a more southerly climate. Nora had to get hold of the money for the journey in secrecy and so borrowed it from Krogstad, a lawyer who had been a coworker of Torvald. As security for the loan she forged her dying father’s signature. Ever since then she has saved some of the housekeeping money in order to pay back the loan with interest, and she has taken on small jobs to earn some money herself. When the play opens, an old friend of Nora’s, Mrs. Linde, has arrived in town to look for work, and Nora sees to it that Torvald gives her a post at the bank. But this means that Krogstad is dismissed from his post at the bank, and in desperation he goes to Nora and threatens to tell Torvald about the loan and the forgery unless he is allowed to keep his post. Nora considers asking Dr. Rank, an old friend of the family, for the money, but when he declares his love for her, she finds it impossible
