“A Doll's House” by Henrik Ibsen is a powerful work that challenged social norms about gender roles, marriage, religion, and especially gender equality in the 19th century. Norwegian society accepted the idea of ​​the show and turned Norway into one of the countries with the best gender equality index in the world. However, with a Vietnamese cultural background, the perspective would be different due to the difference in tradition. This text juxtaposes a middle-aged Vietnamese woman's and a Norwegian middle-aged woman's interpretations of gender roles, religion, marriage, and thrklkl. Henrik Ibsen's play demonstrates the stark difference between the expectations of women and men in terms of financial support, in terms of roles within the family, in education and in the difference in employment opportunities. Nora, the protagonist of the play, cannot borrow money without her husband's consent. She has the task of taking care of the children, looking after the house, welcoming guests while her husband is locked in his studies. And as women in 19th-century Norway, Nora and her nanny cannot hold a bank position but must decide to do menial jobs such as abandoning their children and becoming a nanny or copying documents that Nora thought "looked manly" . The difference in expectations for the two genders is cleverly juxtaposed here to show how women's rights and choices were limited. For a Norwegian woman, the message sent through this play is something that society has emphasized and achieved. They would view 19th century society as having an outdated mentality. In Vietnamese culture, women often held menial jobs while men pursued higher education and had a wider choice of jobs. However, more severe… halfway… and caring than a companionship relationship. As much as a Norwegian woman finds divorce sensible in this case, Vietnamese women, especially middle-aged women, disapprove of divorce since in Vietnamese culture, husband and wife must stay together despite conflicts. “A Doll's House” has a different interpretation based on the audience, so it would have different impacts and meanings depending on the audience. A Norwegian woman would consider this play as a seminal text that sparked feminism in Norway, while a middle-aged Vietnamese man would interpret it more as a tragic love story and would not see the feminist message as clearly. The difference in perspective has led to different interpretations of "A Doll's House" and is a great example of why authors should take the audience's context into consideration to convey the message effectively.
