    May 18, 2007: Once the story got started I really liked it. Although the story can be seen as disturbing or weird, I believe there is a lot of meaning behind it. Nora, Trovald's wife is the main character, and all the minor characters really help bring out her, and her personality. She does seem like a little kid, always supported by her father or Trovald, which he calls her things like 'skylark' and 'squirrel'. What made the story a lot more interesting is the whole scandal about the loan Krogstad provided to Nora for Trovald's life. Being Krogstad just lost his job, Trovald fired him, and his ex-love got his job, who in mind is Nora's really good friend, the only way for Krogstad to get back at Trovald is to blackmail Nora. When it comes down to it, and the letter is in Trovald's box, from Krogstad, the only thing Ms. Linde, Nora's friend could tell her is she basically needs to figure out what is the right thing to do. Mr. Ibsen did a really good job with the climax, cause this is where it is starting to get good. Nora baiscally comes out with it, and tells Trovald how he makes her feel. Him being the uptight man that he is, shows that his weakness is how other people will see him. And what surprises everybody is Nora leaves, to find herself. The only thing that would keep me from giving this book a top notch rating is the fact she leaves her kids, that's sad, but it could be understandable. But also the beginning. It was rather slow, and in a way was weak. But overall I liked the book, it kept me interested, and surprised me through out the story.

    January 10, 2002: A Doll's house shocked Victorian society with a scathing indictment of patriarchal rule. Although Nora's transformation seems to come 'out of the blue', one must remember it is a three act drama (which would have made a more stunning novel). Reviews of the period were often unfavorable, as the play sought to upturn one of the principles central to Victorian society. Vivid, striking language and symbolism, along with a frank ending scene, lend this work interest and poignantcy. An excellent work for a student in search of a research topic.
