A Doll's House - Nora's Home

In the early scenes of the play, Nora's home, which she shares with Torvald, their children and some servants, is a haven of safety, security, love, and play. Later, as Nora comes to realize just how imprisoned she has been by the attitudes and actions of both Torvald and herself, she comes to see her home as a cage, a "doll's house," in which she has been kept as a plaything and which, in order to survive, she must escape.
