Une maison de poupée

Par Henrik Ibsen

Nora, personnage principal de la pièce, est mariée depuis huit ans à Torvald Helmer, un directeur de banque avec lequel elle a eu trois enfants. Le rôle de Nora dans son mariage consiste en celui d'une simplette : son mari ne cesse de l'appeler son alouette ou son petit écureuil ; elle n'est pas prise au sérieux par son mari et superficiellement, elle ne se prend pas au sérieux. Helmer se contente de lui donner des directives. Cela sans méchanceté aucune de la part de Helmer, qui considère simplement que c'est le rapport normal entre hommes et femmes, comme le veut l'opinion de son époque.

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.
