Cultural+influences

But family life is not all that influenced ibsens A Doll Holl House, the play was strongly influenced by cultural differences. The time period that this play was written in was a time where [|males dominated]. Ths can be seen in the [|relationship] of nora and torvald, as well as an extent with Mrs. Linde and her "romance" with her dead husband and Krogstad. Women married men more for support rather than love, they did'nt have much say in society or many jobs open for them, so they needed a man to provide for them. Ibsen incorporates this throughout the whole play except for the twist in the ending when Nora decides to leave torvald. I think this ending represents the [|womens rights movment in the 1800s].
