The typical type of play that was popular at the time that Ibsen wrote A Doll’s House contained the same type of characters: the aggressive father, the innocent damsel-in-distress type, the jealous husband, the loyal friend, guilty secrets and unfound identities. In these types of plays, there was always a moral and the audience left with the problem solved and a happy ending. Ibsen adopted these basic techniques but he changed the characters. The characters in A Doll’s House are superficial on the outside but less so on the inside. They are complicated people and the problems that we see them face, are like the ones we would be experiencing.
