Personal Empowerment in Ibsen's 'A Doll's House'

Abstract: A 5 page paper looking at this classic play by Henrik Ibsen in terms of the various stages of personal empowerment displayed by its protagonist, Nora Helmer. The paper suggests that Nora is a much stronger person than her husband realizes; and although for much of the play Nora's real character remains hidden from her husband, we as the audience are given ample clues to the unfolding of Nora's eventual empowerment, predicting the denouement at the end. No additional sources.
