Is there poetic justice in the play "A Dolls House"
I am looking for pointers towards poetic justice (as it relates to the abuse of poetic license) in the play.
This depends on how you view the play. Does Nora finally put Torval in his place? Are you really alive, if, like Nora, you are living in a delusional world? This question resounds throughout Ibsen's canon, particularly in The Wild Duck, and the question is important in judging how to respond to the play. Is the end of the play, for instance, the glorious triumph of individualism, the moment at which Nora really becomes herself, or is it a foolish, idealistic decision which is the beginning of the end of Nora's happiness?
