How do you describe the dolls house?

A Doll's House was written by Henrik Ibsen. This play is a commentary to the 19th century marriage norms, the traditional roles of men and women. This play was highly controversial during its time. For one thing, the sacred of marriage was highly valued and being portrayed in this way was unacceptable. It is known to be a feminist play. The main character is Nora Helmer, the wife of Torvald Helmer. Throughout the play she is treated like a child by her husband. Nils Krogstad is a sleazy lawyer who Nora borrowed money from to save her husband. Krogstad is fired from job by Torvald and decides to blackmail him by writing a letter that describes the debt that Nora is in. Torvald reads the letter and scolds her, telling her that she is horrible wife, mother and that their marriage will be for appearances sake. However, Krogstad decides not to blackmail Nora (with the help of her friend Kristine), and so Torvald takes back what he said previously. By this Nora realizes that her marriage is fake. That she was a just a toy to first her father and now her husband and that she does not know herself at all. She decides to leave Torvald, to much of his dismay, so that she can rediscover herself.

What is the significance of Dr Rank in a Doll's House?

In A Doll's House, Dr. Rank is a friend of Torvald Helmer who comes to the house every day to visit him, and also see Torvald's wife Nora. When he confesses his love for Nora to her, it becomes a means of contrasting the way he loves her wholly, for who she is, with the way Torvald loves only her beauty and helplessness. Thus, Dr. Rank is somewhat of a character foil for Torvald. This also provides a contrast between appearance - Dr. Rank as a close family friend - and reality - Dr. Rank as a secret admirer of Nora - which is a recurring idea in the play. Dr. Rank also suffers from "tuberculosis of the spine" (most commonly thought to be syphyllis), which was passed down to him by his father. Thus, he is suffering because of the actions of others and can not escape events from the past, mirroring the way events in Krogstad's past are unescapable for him, and the way each character in the play suffers in some way because of the actions of another. Dr. Rank's deteriorating health throughout the play also parallels the deteriorating marriage between Torvald and Nora, and his will to seclude himself while dying to avoid having anyone see him at his worst and weakest parallels Torvald's desperation to keep up the appearance of a happy marriage even when he realizes how much Nora's actions have cost him. The life and death of Dr. Rank mirror many of the social and interpersonal situations in the play, and the contrast between his character and Torvald's help to develop Torvald's character, and by extension, Nora's. Dr. Rank also serves as a way to show what kind of characters Torvals and Nora are. After the death of Dr. Rank he becomes a distant memory in their life.
