Henrik Ibsen
Born in 1828, Henrik Ibsen was a Norwegian playwright and poet, often associated with the early Modernist movement in theatre. Determined to become a playwright from a young age, Ibsen began writing while working as an apprentice pharmacist to help support his family. Though his early plays were largely unsuccessful, Ibsen was able to take employment at a theatre where he worked as a writer, director, and producer. Ibsen’s first success came with Brand and Peter Gynt, and with later plays like A Doll’s House, Ghosts, and The Master Builder he became one of the most performed playwrights in the world, second only to William Shakespeare. Ibsen died in his home in Norway in 1906 at the age of 78.

Reviews for Casa de muñecas
1,467 ratings23 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Hay algunas palabras cambiadas como cuando dice la señora está servida que supongo se refiere a la cena, de ahí en fuera no hay más !
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Maybe 3½... I found the second act dragged a bit, but the third and final act was amazing. Nora's revolt was tremendously satisfying to me, in particular after Torvald goes into his self-righteous rant.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In this audio version of Ibsen's classic play, Nora must face down the consequences of a choice she made years ago and the ramifications it has for her marriage and domestic life.Callista Flockhart sparkles as Nora and the other cast members set her off to advantage. I studied this play in high school English but I'd forgotten most of the details so the turn in the final act was wonderful to experience again. Recommended.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I'm currently working my way through a good deal of the theatrical canon and this play was up next. An intriguing study, still at times rooted in the melodramatic. I wasn't too impressed with the character of Nora, even after extensive discussion. She confused and baffled me the majority of the time, and not in a particularly good way.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5short, deals with inner questioning vs. outward conformity. understandable how hugely controversial this was when it was released. still enjoyable today.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a very interesting drama about the needs of the individual versus the needs of society or family.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book was alright. I had to read this while studying English for undergrad. It was a required text for my American Lit class that I hated more than anything that year. I was happy that it was short (ha!) and that it was soon over. We got the point that the main character was a spendthrift and after that, I was bored and ready for it to all end.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I was surprised by this: it was a lot more readable and interesting than I expected it to be. It's also very thought-provoking: I can't decide whether Nora's actions are completely convincing, but I've been thinking about the play ever since I finished it, which must be a sign of an excellent piece of writing.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I haven't read a play in some time so this was a nice break from a traditional novel.
I enjoyed the story which did drag a bit in Act II but almost necessary for the play to explain the circumstances contributing to the ultimate finale. I found the conclusion had me wondering how it would end and I was pleasantly surprised! From a historical standpoint, the story was brilliant! - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The good thing was...it was VERY quick to read, other than that...who cares about the story. It was lame. I can't believe people paid money to sit through that on Broadway. There was no excitement what so ever. It was like watching what goes on in many households on stage. Evidently the big deal was that it happened in an earlier time period when it was less socially exceptable...big deal.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5We read this sophomore year of high school, and I very much enjoyed it. We had a debate over whether Nora was good or bad in my class- all the girls sided with her, and all the boys but one against. I'm with her! I felt like she wasn't really a person while she was with her husband and she had to leave to become one. Never stay with a man who won't let you eat cookies!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Read for school in my World Lit class. But I remember loving it from my high school drama class. I loved Ibsen even then. Coming back to to this play years later was wonderful, because I got to examine it from an adult perspective. I will always defend Nora and her decision. She is a victim of her time period, yet she is not to be pitied.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I actually read an online version of this text provided by my teacher as part of my Introduction to Drama course, so this is not the same version I'm writing about, but is the same work. This is probably the most famous Problem Play ever written, and is a rather fun read as well. It definitely deals heavily with the position of women in society at the time, and offers a great glimpse of society in general at the time the play was written.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Well-written dialogue, and a speedy read. I find it cliche because I have been usurped by classic literature with the same theme (or even more modern literature such as [Revolutionary Road].) But, I am sure it was great for its era. I find the main characters a bit dull- though something really intrigues me about the Doctor. A classic for everyone to read.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I really did not enjoy this book. Most probably because I am not a fan of reading plays or easily predictable stories/plots. I thought the story was very simple, easy to predict and a little boring. However, it is a good classic to read and especially if you enjoy plays. I would not recommend it to those who are not very dedicated readers.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Well that was ugly.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is, in my opinion, one of the most important women's rights books ever written. I am by no means a modern feminist, but I really did enjoy this book back when I read it in high school. I liked the ending climax, though it was quite a bit bittersweet.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5One of the best-known, most frequently performed of modern plays, displaying Ibsen’s genius for realistic prose drama. A classic expression of women’s rights, the play builds to a climax in which the central character, Nora, rejects a smothering marriage and life in "a doll’s house."
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The only redeeming quality about this book is that it is short. I really didnt enjoy the writing style, the characters, or the plot. It was one of those books that you are forced to read, and simply suffer through it while never feeling like you could connect with it. I cant stand it when people assume that just because something is popular or old, it has to be good. This book just wasnt good.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I read this with interest as a bachelor. After 22 years of marriage rereading it convinces me that it is an inspired masterpiece. I hope my children will read it at some point- preferably before they marry!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Nada o casi nada con tonos feministas me gusta. Es una obra por lo menos interesante.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I can't say I was a big fan of this book. The characters were annoying and the writing didn't particularly captivate me. I can, however, admire what this work set out to do and the extremally unusual and complex female representation for the time. I can, for example, admire Nora's strength even though I don't like her. I do wonder how much of that is her having to suppress herself because of the times and bow things have changed since. I do also wonder how much of that was narrative choice (I listened to an audiobook. While this was of high quality, I did get annoyed at the ways the characters spoke at times). I can see why some people love this book, but unfortunately it wasn't for me.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Read it in class. Absolute trash. You mean to tell me a crazy, naive, idiotic woman suddenly has an epiphany regarding her shitty life and leaves her husband? Yeah, no. Not only was this poorly written but completely unheard of during that time. People back then hated it and people know praise it as being ahead of its time. I call it trash.

ACTO PRIMERO
Sala acogedora, amueblada con gusto, pero sin lujo. En el fondo, a la derecha, una puerta conduce a la antesala, y a la izquierda, otra al despacho de Helmer. Entre ambas, un piano. En el centro del lateral izquierdo, otra puerta, y más allá, una ventana. Cerca de la ventana, mesa redonda, con un sofá y varias sillas alrededor. En el lateral derecho, junto al foro, otra puerta, y en primer término, una estufa de azulejos, con un par de sillones y una mecedora enfrente. Entre la estufa y la puerta lateral, una mesita. Grabados en las paredes. Repisa con figuritas de porcelana y otros menudos objetos de arte. Una pequeña librería con libros encuadernados primorosamente. Alfombra. La estufa está encendida. Día de invierno.
En la antesala suena una campanilla; momentos más tarde, se oye abrir la puerta. Nora entra en la sala tarareando alegremente, vestida de calle y cargada de paquetes, que deja sobre la mesita de la derecha. Por la puerta abierta de la antesala, se ve un Mozo con un árbol de Navidad y un cesto, todo lo cual entrega a la doncella que ha abierto.
NORA: Esconde bien el árbol, Elena. No deben verlo los niños de ninguna manera hasta esta noche, cuando esté arreglado. (Dirigiéndose al Mozo, mientras saca el portamonedas.) ¿Cuánto es?
EL MOZO: Cincuenta ore ...
NORA: Tenga: una corona. No, no; quédese con la vuelta. (El Mozo da las gracias y se va. Nora cierra la puerta. Continúa sonriendo mientras se quita el abrigo y el sombrero. Luego saca del bolsillo un cucurucho de almendras y come un par de ellas. Después se acerca cautelosamente a la puerta del despacho de su marido.) Sí, está en casa. (Se pone a tararear otra vez según se dirige a la mesita de la derecha.)
HELMER: (Desde su despacho.) ¿Es mi alondra la que está gorjeando ahí fuera?
NORA: (A tiempo que abre unos paquetes.) Sí, es ella.
HELMER: ¿Es mi ardilla la que está enredando?
NORA: ¡Sí!
HELMER: ¿Hace mucho que ha llegado mi ardilla?
NORA: Ahora mismo. (Guarda el cucurucho en el bolsillo y se limpia la boca.) Ven aquí, mira lo que he comprado.
HELMER: ¡No me interrumpas por el momento! (Al poco rato abre la puerta y se asoma con la pluma en la mano.) ¿Has dicho comprado? ¿Todo eso? ¿Aún se ha atrevido el pajarito cantor a tirar el dinero?
NORA: Torvaldo, este año podemos excedernos un poco. Es la primera Navidad que no tenemos que andar con apuros.
HELMER: Sí, sí, aunque tampoco podemos derrochar, ¿sabes?
NORA: Un poquito sí que podremos, ¿verdad? Un poquitín, nada más. Ahora que vas a tener un buen sueldo, y a ganar muchísimo dinero...
HELMER: Sí, a partir de Año Nuevo. Pero habrá de pasar un trimestre antes que cobre nada.
NORA: ¿Y qué importa eso? Entre tanto, podemos pedir prestado.
HELMER: ¡Nora! (Se acerca a ella, y bromeando, le tira de una oreja.) ¿Reincides en tu ligereza de siempre?... Suponte que hoy pido prestadas mil coronas, que tú te las gastas durante la semana de Navidad, que la Noche Vieja me cae una teja en la cabeza, y me quedo en el sitio...
NORA: ¡Qué horror! No digas esas cosas.
HELMER: Bueno; pero suponte que ocurriera. Entonces, ¿qué?
NORA: Si sucediera semejante cosa, me sería de todo punto igual tener deudas que no tenerlas.
HELMER: ¿Y a los que me hubiesen prestado el dinero?
NORA: ¡Quién piensa en ellos! Son personas extrañas.
HELMER: ¡Nora, Nora! Eres una verdadera mujer. En serio, Nora, ya sabes lo que pienso de todo esto. Nada de deudas, nada de préstamos. En el hogar fundado sobre préstamos y deudas se respira una atmósfera de esclavitud, un no sé qué de inquietante y fatídico que no puede presagiar sino males. Hasta hoy nos hemos sostenido con suficiente entereza. Y así seguiremos el poco tiempo que nos queda de lucha.
NORA: En fin, como gustes, Torvaldo.
HELMER: (Que va tras ella.) Bien, bien; no quiero ver a mi alondra con las alas caídas. ¿Qué, acaba por enfurruñarse mi ardilla? (Saca su billetero.) Nora, adivina lo que tengo aquí.
NORA: (Volviéndose rápidamente.) ¡Dinero!
HELMER: Toma, mira. (Entregándole algunos billetes.) ¡Vaya, si sabré yo lo que hay que gastar en una casa cuando se acercan las Navidades!
NORA: (Contando.) Diez, veinte, treinta, cuarenta... ¡Muchas gracias, Torvaldo! Con esto tengo para bastante tiempo.
HELMER: Así lo espero.
NORA: Sí, sí; ya verás. Pero ven ya, porque voy a enseñarte todo lo que he comprado. Y además, baratísimo. Fíjate... aquí hay un sable y un traje nuevo, para Ivar; aquí, un caballo y una trompeta, para Bob, y aquí, una muñeca con su camita, para Emmy. Es de lo más ordinario: como en seguida lo rompe... Mira: aquí, unos cortes de vestidos y pañuelos, para las muchachas. La vieja Ana María se merecía mucho más...
HELMER: Y en ese paquete, ¿qué hay?
NORA: (Gritando.) ¡No, eso no, Torvaldo! ¡No lo verás hasta esta noche!
HELMER: Conforme. Pero ahora dime, manirrota: ¿has deseado algo para ti?
NORA: ¿Para mí? ¡Qué importa! Yo no quiero nada.
HELMER: ¡No faltaba más! Anda, dime algo que te apetezca, algo razonable.
NORA: No sé... francamente. Aunque sí...
HELMER: ¿Qué?
NORA: (Juguetea con los botones de la chaqueta de su marido, sin mirarle.) Si insistes en regalarme algo, podrías... Podrías...
HELMER: Vamos, dilo.
NORA: (De un tirón.) Podrías darme dinero, Torvaldo. Nada, lo que buenamente quieras, y un día de éstos compraré una cosa.
HELMER: Pero, Nora...
NORA: Sí, Torvaldo; oye, vas a hacerme ese favor. Colgaré del árbol dinero envuelto en un papel dorado, ¿te parece bien?
HELMER: ¿Cómo se llama ese pájaro que siempre está despilfarrando?
NORA: Ya, ya; el estornino; lo sé. Pero vamos a hacer lo que te he dicho, ¿eh, Torvaldo? Así tendré tiempo de pensar lo que necesite antes. ¿No crees que es lo más acertado?
HELMER: (Sonriendo) Por supuesto, si verdaderamente guardaras el dinero que te doy y compraras algo para ti. Pero luego resulta que vas a gastártelo en la casa o en cualquier cosa inútil, y después tendré que desembolsar otra vez...
HELMER: ¡Qué idea, Torvaldo!...
HELMER: Querida Nora: no puedes negarlo. (Rodeándole la cintura.) El estornino es encantador, pero gasta tanto... ¡Es increíble lo que cuesta a un hombre mantener un estornino!
NORA: ¡Qué exageración! ¿Por qué dices eso? Si yo ahorro todo lo que puedo.
HELMER: (Riendo.) Eso sí es verdad. Todo lo que puedes; pero lo que pasa es que no puedes nada.
NORA: (Canturrea y sonríe alegremente.) ¡Si tú supieras lo que tenemos que gastar las alondras y las ardillas,
