Summary "The Collected Works of Henrik Ibsen, Vol. 07 (of 11)" by Henrik Ibsen is a collection of dramatic works from the late 19th century. This volume includes the renowned plays "A Doll’s House" and "Ghosts," both of which explore complex themes of morality, social norms, and the intricacies of human relationships. The main character in "A Doll’s House," Nora, is portrayed as a seemingly frivolous woman who undergoes a profound personal awakening, while "Ghosts" delves into familial legacy and societal hypocrisy. The opening of "A Doll’s House" introduces us to Nora Helmer, who is bustling about her home in the excitement of preparing for Christmas. She engages in playful banter with her husband, Torvald Helmer, showcasing their seemingly happy but complex relationship. As Nora remembers her past struggles, including the sacrifices she made for Torvald's health, we glimpse her inner turmoil and the weight of a secret that threatens to disrupt their domestic bliss. The scene sets up the tensions that will unravel as the plot progresses, hinting at Nora's journey of self-discovery and the challenging realities of her marriage.
