Portraying the dynamics of domesticity and independence, A Doll’s House dramatize nora, a wasted, pampered housewife and a doting mother, who when confronted with the grim reality of being a mere puppet in her husband’s hands, takes the decision to fulfil her personal desires even at the cost of her marriage and children. The sound of nora slamming the door on her home reverberated throughout Victorian society shocking it out of its prudish conventionality.
