Secondary sourcing - looking at what a critic analyses the play to be.

I have firstly looked at http://go.galegroup.com/ps/retrieve.do?sgHitCountType=None&sort=RELEVANCE&inPS=true&prodId=LitRC&userGroupName=per_k12&tabID=T001&searchId=R3&resultListType=RESULT_LIST&contentSegment=&searchType=BasicSearchForm&currentPosition=3&contentSet=GALE|H1420014978&&docId=GALE|H1420014978&docType=GALE&role=LitRC


The writer of this piece is attacking the play A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen. He is firstly doing this by questioning the basics of the play like the common sense portrayed. The notion that is being called common sense in this case is the fact that if a relationship was strong and happy as it is portrayed to be then why would there be the need to lie about money or smaller things such as biscuits? Further more the character Nora is being portrayed as a woman who lies out of her teeth, has even got the capacity to forge documents and defy the law without her husband being able to even notice this is unbelievable. As well as this a women who has been able to throw her morals out of the window by leaving her husband which is against all she believes in is hardly believable.
