- A Doll's House is a three-act play by the Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. Its first performance was at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen, in Denmark, on 21 December 1879. It is often considered to be a feminist play as Nora, the heroine, leaves her husband and children intent on self-discovery. Ibsen, on the other hand, denied any conscious attempt to provide propaganda for the women's rights movement and claimed that his concern was for the description of humanity. If the play is about the need to find the self and to live true to that self, then what is the nature of individualism that the play promotes?

A very illuminating talk, thank you.
Brilliant!
I didn't gain very much insight about individulism and the play, though
doesnt reduce the fact that that was the intention of the author
Very slowly presented and very sparce on substance.

7:47 99-50=49; hence, the period of 1850 to 1899 spans one additional year, or fifty years. A small but common math error. Respectfully, you might want to revise future lectures when you mention this idea.
