Title Nora: Näytelmä kolmessa näytöksessä
Credits Produced by Matti Järvinen, Tuija Lindholm and Distributed Proofreaders Europe
Summary "Nora: Näytelmä kolmessa näytöksessä" by Henrik Ibsen is a play written in the late 19th century. This work is notable for its exploration of themes such as marriage, identity, and societal expectations, primarily through the character of Nora, who is the wife of lawyer Torvald Helmer. The initial events set the stage for a narrative that delves into personal and moral dilemmas faced by the characters within a domestic space. The opening of the play introduces us to Nora Helmer as she joyfully prepares for Christmas, highlighting her seemingly light-hearted demeanor. She interacts with her husband, Torvald, who is about to become the bank's director, discussing their financial situation and the gifts she has bought for their children. However, there are hints of underlying tension, especially when Nora persuades Torvald to support her friend Kristina Linde in securing a job at the bank. The atmosphere changes with the unexpected arrival of Krogstad, a man from Nora's past, indicating that hidden secrets and challenges poised to disrupt their seemingly idyllic lives will soon emerge. This setup effectively foreshadows a deeper conflict tied to Nora's hidden acts of sacrifice for her husband’s well-being, a theme that unfolds further as the narrative progresses.
