User:Modern-day-minstrel/Contemporary criticism of A Doll's House
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henrick Ibsen’s 1879 play A Doll(‘s) House caused considerable controversy for its highly complex portrayal of marriage, morality, and the role of women in society. In an era marked by widespread, whirlwind technological and philosophical progress, Ibsen’s oeuvre explores the microcosm of a family in turmoil, while also exposing the pervasive attitudes and behaviors that characterized relationships between men and women of the rising bourgeoisie. A Doll(‘s) House was met with nigh-universal awe at the author’s audacity, but far less uniformity in approbation. Contemporary critiques of the work represent a panoptic variety of viewpoints, from anger to dismissal to praise, with each appraisal of the play clearly influenced by the authors’ and publishers’ social, political, and ethical beliefs.
