Ibsen often uses symbols to externalize inner problems of many of his characters. Point out some instances of this in A Doll’s House.

Nora's fancy dress for the party symbolizes the character she plays in her marriage to Torvald. Take note of when Nora is supposed to be wearing it and for whom. Note too that when she leaves Torvald in the last act, she first changes into different clothes, which suggests the new woman she is to become.
