Discussion questions:
- Does Nora have as much control over her money as she indicates (for example, when she says she saves money from doing odd jobs)?
- Is it essential that the main character be a woman in this play?
- In what ways does Ibsen give external symbols of internal qualities in his characters?
- Is Nora a victim or does she bring her trouble on herself?
- What social message might Ibsen support through this play?
- What elements of either Romanticism or Realism do you find in the play?
