A Doll House (literally translated A Dollhouse from the original
Norwegian title Et dukkehjem) is an
1879 play by
Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen.A Doll House, written two years after
The Pillars of Society, was the first of Ibsen's plays to create a sensation and is now perhaps his most famous play, and required reading in many secondary schools and universities. The play was highly controversial when first published, as it is sharply critical of
Victorian marriage norms. It follows the formula of
well-made play up until the final act, when it breaks convention by ending with a discussion, not an unraveling. It is often called the first true
feminist play, although Ibsen denied this.
