What We Think

For a book from 1879, "A Doll’s House" is surprisingly ahead of its time in challenging traditional norms. While not as overtly "woke" as modern fiction, its critiques of family and gender roles push it well above average on this scale.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While "A Doll's House" generally maintains narrative integrity, it does prioritize Nora's awakening and autonomy over traditional character arcs, emphasizing gender and societal roles. However, the story's realism and character flaws counterbalance this somewhat, keeping it from maximum "woke" territory.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The play is famous (or infamous, depending on your view) for challenging traditional marriage and gender roles, portraying established family structures and masculinity as constraining or outmoded. For its era, this was highly subversive, but today it reads as an early foray into questioning cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Most perspectives critical of Nora's actions are shown as unsympathetic or old-fashioned. The narrative gives limited weight to traditional roles or dissenting voices. However, there is some nuance, as characters like Torvald are depicted with complexity.
