Post 13 | Modern Ideals vs. A Doll House

Nora from A Doll House is unlike modern women in so many ways. 140 years ago there were standards for women. They weren’t allowed to do certain everyday things like women nowadays can. They were expected to do housework and to always be a housewife. Things are very different in the current state of society. People would consider anyone stuck in the ideals from A Doll House to be old fashioned and ignorant. If you asked anyone 140 years ago if a woman should work a full time job they would say no. They would tell you that women belong in the kitchen. Ask anyone nowadays and the answer would be completely different. Some peoples ideals may not have changed but majority have. There are far more working women now then there was 140 years ago. Overall, Nora was not like modern women. She struggled to be her own person aside from what her husband wanted her to be. That is really what set her apart from modern women. Women today are more likely to be their own person and not tied to a man.
