The Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen's play is translated into English as 'A Doll's House'. But many people disagree with this. Many literary scholars say that the correct English translation of Norwegian this play will be 'A Doll House', much more fitting with the name of Ibsen. Ibsen's plays have been famous for criticizing the nineteenth-century marriage system and social norms. At that time, there was no debate about the drama.
The main character of the drama is Nora. She wants to leave her husband, family, and child as soon as possible. Ibsen got the inspiration to write this drama from the idea that 'a woman can never live in her own way in modern society' because it is a male-dominated society. The laws of this society create man, law enforcement and the justice process in man's hand. That is why they determine the issues of women from the patriarchal perspective. In an 1898 interview with the Norwegian Association for Women's Rights, Ibsen stressed that he had consciously worked with women's rights movement. However, as propaganda, he did not write 'A Dolls House'. He said that his work was to describe humanity.
In 2006, Ibsen's 100th death anniversary was celebrated. That year, the most played drama in the world were honoured by 'A Dolls House' In 2001, the manuscript 'A Doll's House' included the 'Memory of the World Register' considering UNESCO's historic value.
