Exactly how many themes does the play A Dolls House have? Well how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? The world may never know. there are many themes following his play. Everything that shimmers ain't gold, what goes on in the dark comes to the light and innocence just happen to be three of the many themes.
Everything is now what it seems. Like the saying "Everything that shimmers ain't gold". In my individual opinion I think that the author clearly detailed this theme. Just because a person is happy in front of you, doesn't mean that when they shut their door to their room things are the same. Noras feelings aren't what i expected them to be. She ended up consenting her husband about how she really felt, as she stated "i have had three kids by this stranger". In public or in front of company she was head over heels for this man. Her true colors were shown at the end of the play. So just because she was Happy when you seen her didn't mean her life was perfect.
Now lets get real, what goes on in the dark comes to the light, right or wrong? Right. Some people think that hey can bee able to do their dirty work and no one will find out about it. "I wont get caught as long as i don't tell anyone", yea you would have thought that no one was going to find out. That is the worst mindset to have. Ever lie or wrong doing will soon be bought to the light. If you haven't gotten caught yet, well then you just got lucky. The author explained this theme very well. Nora forged her late fathers signature to borrow money for a trip to save her husbands life. Thinking that no one knew except her Krogstad, Torvalds former employee, found out and ended up black mailing Nora. Krogstad sent a letter to Noras husband a letter stating the truth about what she had done. Nora never planned for her husband to find out about the money that she had borrowed. She was left terrified and didn't know how Torvald would react. Don't do something behind closed doors and you can't suffer the consequences when someone peeps in.
"I strongly dislike this play A Dolls House", that was a lie and in this play many lies were told. Lying is a strong theme and basically speaks for itself. I myself had told lies, but that was when i was younger. That was only to get myself out of trouble. Not to get me into something that i wouldn't be able to get myself out of. The lies in this story were actually a act of kindness gone wrong, for the most part besides Nora sneaking and eating chocolate, which her husband strongly disliked.
There is a lot that you can learn from this play, but the main points have been made. Don't judge someone because they look perfect, they could tell lies and live a life you couldn't imagine but it will soon come to the light.
