...reaction leads her to question the basis for her marriage and her place in her society. The major problem with the traditional feminist interpretation is that much of the detail has become dated: turn of the century Norway is not 1980s United States. The Lowell production circumvents this potential flaw by emphasizing the underlying human relationships rather than the specifics of Nora's situation. Nora's struggle is transformed from that of an idealogue spouting chain-breaking rhetoric, into that of an individual seeking to free herself from an artificially constrictive world...
