A Doll's House

     A Doll's House is a play that was written by Henrik Ibsen. It is set around Christmas time. There are two main characters, Nora and Torvald Helmer. From my understanding, Nora had committed a forgery, a few years before the setting. She is then being blackmailed, which scares her. Nora doesn't want her husband to find out. She believe that he would be filled with shame, and his career would come to a downfall. Eventually, the truth does come out.
     Henrik Ibsen was born on March 20, 1828. He was a major 19th-century Norwegian playwright, as well as theatre director and poet. Although he has written many plays, some of his greatest works are A Doll's House, The Burial Mound, The Feast at Solhaug, and Love's Comedy.
