"A Doll's House" is among Henrik Ibsen's sociological plays, bearing a fine portrait of a male-dominated society.  The play deals with the 'gender relation' of the society and chiefly aimed at women's emancipation from their husband's proprietary right upon them.  Out of this unevenness of male-female relationship, a conflict which prevailed largely in the contemporary social setting is conspicuous in the play. To bring out this theme of conflict resulting out of gender relation in the play, the writer introduces Nora Helmer - in whose character the title remained exemplified. Literally 'doll' represents a passive and subservient woman, so "A doll's house" signifies a house dwelled by such a woman. Keeping in context with this literal meaning, in the play the word 'doll' has been applied to Nora and as such her house is "A doll's house". The writer depicted the character of Nora glorifying 'wifely devotion' through it. She was a passive and obedient wife to her husband, Torvald Helmer. From the very beginning of the play, we find Helmer showing his authority upon her, whereas Nora, showing no individuality of her own, remained his 'doll wife' - always conforming to his ideas, opinions and taste. Apart from her herioc decision of borrowing money from Krogsted without her husband's concern, she lived in a most passive manner.
