"A Doll's House" is a play that explores the complex web of social expectations and gender roles in late 19th-century Norway. The story centers on Nora Helmer, a housewife who appears to live a perfect life with her husband Torvald and their three children. However, as the play unfolds, it becomes clear that all is not as it seems. Nora is hiding a secret from her husband: she forged a signature to secure a loan that allowed the family to travel to Italy, which was crucial to her husband's health. When her husband discovers the truth, he becomes enraged and demands that Nora confess her wrongdoing. As the situation spirals out of control, Nora is forced to confront the reality of her life and the constraints that society has placed upon her.
