Summary "Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 100, April 4, 1891" by Various is a satirical magazine and collection of humorous sketches, articles, and illustrations that reflect the social and political climate of the late 19th century, particularly during the Victorian era. The content primarily revolves around comedic interpretations of contemporary issues, entertainment, and cultural critiques, making it a rich source of insight into the era's societal norms and attitudes. In this volume, notable sections include a condensed and revised version of Henrik Ibsen's "A Doll's House," presented as "Mr. Punch's Pocket Ibsen," which humorously engages with themes of marital dynamics and social expectations, particularly through the character of Nora. The piece presents Nora's frivolous nature and her struggles with personal responsibility in a humorous light, showcasing the juxtaposition between her playful demeanor and serious underlying issues. The magazine also features various witty poems, sketches on political themes, and societal commentary, all designed to entertain while provoking thought regarding the conventions of the time.
