A play serves as the author's tool for critiquing society. One rarely encounters the ability to transcend accepted social beliefs. The play reflects controversial issues that the audience can relate to because they interact in the same situations every day.

Unknowingly the heroine solves the problem at the end of the play and indirectly sends a message to the audience on how to solve their own problems. Henrik Ibsen provides a unique analysis on the issues that his culture never thought as being wrong.

Whenever she begins to voice an opinion Torvald quickly drops the pet-names and insults her as a women. Ibsen focuses on the lack of power and authority given to women, but through Nora demonstrates the strength and willpower masked by her husband Torvald. The final confrontation between the couple involves more oppression by Torvald, but by this time Nora has realized the situation he wishes to maintain. Nora uses her wit to find a way to be able to overcome the shackles placed on her by society and get enough money to save Torvald's life. 72) leaves her with the knowledge that Torvald will never change.
