A dolls house
The play takes place over a short period of time (60 hours) and is rather fast paced, it becomes more so towards the end creating suspense. Being based around the retrospective secret and Nora’s mistake, gives a perfect tool to create suspense, as if the secret is revealed the whole play will change 'for the worse', (Nora’s life will fall apart). The audience is made to sympathise with Nora as we follow her story and are given insight on her feelings through soliloquy, this closeness to Nora gives the audience insight to the horrors that could amount if Torvald discovers the truth. The soliloquies are quite broken down, repetitive uttering, that empathise the inner conflict. The play is written in a very naturalistic fashion, which makes the characters more recognisable as real people. Dramatic irony also adds to the suspense Torvald talks of lies and deceit and how they ruin people and families, also Krogstad who has committed the same crime as Nora is dismissed from work because of his mistake and publicly shamed. The tarantella a symbolic ‘dance of death’ also works as an excellent tool for suspense, Nora uses it as a delaying tactic, the pace is quickened this raises tension and suspense.
