Nora’s door slam at the end of the play is famous. Many critics call it the start of modern drama. Explain in detail why this sound effect is a dramatic moment and why it symbolizes the end of an era and the dawn of a new age.

Nora and Torvald discuss the possibility of a “miracle of miracles.” But the outside door slams as the curtain comes down. It is not a happy ending but a sad one, particularly for Torvald. As for Nora, it is an open ending. It is an opening out of possibilities for Nora, a new journey which, as much as possible, she will take alone. This was not something that a women really did at the time. A woman's identity was wrapped up with who she married. Nora was embarking on a journey to discover he own identity separated from what a man has made up for her. This certainly has a feminist narrative to it.
