Dolls House PLOT AND SUB PLOT
A DOLLS HOUSE: PLOT AND SUB PLOT Act 1 The play opens on Christmas Eve in the Helmers’ apartment. ... Helmer agrees & then Dr Rank, Helmer & Mrs Linde all leave the house. ... He tells that she is to continue to live at the house but that “The children shall be taken out of her hands. ... ” A Dolls house provides a make believe world where children make their dolls perform special roles. Through the agency of the title, Henrik Isben cleverly draws a parallel between the life in the house, which is represented on stage, and the false life of a doll’s house.
