Answer 2

In "A Doll's House", by Henrik Ibsen, Nora's character develops the theme that taking ownership of your own life is sometimes necessary because Nora decides that her decisions to be a wife and raise children were wrong, so she is leaving in order to educate herself properly. This story criticizes strongly the norms of the nineteenth century when women had to obey their husbands.
