But no! Instead, against all my expectations, my girl dropped him and decided to live for herself.
This play is from the 70s. The 1870s. And wow.Â
Ibsen denied this was a feminist work, but...idk death of the author and whatever.

One thing I love as well, is that her husband isn’t painted as a villain, in the conclusion it becomes clear that he is just as ignorant as she is (albeit in a different way) he just hasn’t fully come to realise this yet.Â
The other characters in this book are also really interesting (with the exception of the forgettable doctor Rank).Â
This book does have flaws though. Mainly being that reading the environment descriptions does feel akin to reading someone’s shopping list, however the book is really good overall and this doesn’t really worsen the experience of reading this book for me. There are other ways this book isn’t perfect (which I won’t touch on), but all in all it is amazing.Â
Overall, very good plot with interesting characters and an important message (very ahead of its time). Would definitely recommend this book.Â
