In Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House, the author wants to convey that this is simply not a feminist text, but rather a reality check for the modern society. Nora often questions her own self against her husband's, Torvald strict view of her. Nora is forced to realize that this "doll house" view of her life is not the woman she wants to be. Coming to this realization, Nora leaves her family in order to find herself.
