-1- A DOLL'S HOUSE by Henrik Ibsen 1879 translated by William Archer CHARACTERS TORVALD HELMER. NORA, his wife. DOCTOR RANK. MRS. LINDEN. NILS KROGSTAD. THE HELMERS' THREE CHILDREN. ANNA, 2 their nurse. A MAID-SERVANT ELLEN . A PORTER. The action passes in Helmer's house a flat in Christiania. In the original "Fru Lind... |
No, really I don't know of anything- Well, listen, Torvald- HELMER. Well? NORA. Playing with his coat-buttons, without looking him in the face. If you really want to give me something, you might, you know- you might- HELMER. Well? Out with it! NORA. Quickly. You might give me money, Torvald. Only just what you think yo... |
Just like your father- always on the look-out for all the money you can lay your hands on; but the moment you have it, it seems to slip through your fingers; you never know what becomes of it. Well, one must take you as you are. It's in the blood. Yes, Nora, that sort of thing is hereditary. NORA. I wish I had inherite... |
Isn't it delightful to think of? NORA. Oh, it's wonderful! HELMER. Do you remember last Christmas? For three whole weeks beforehand you shut yourself up every evening till long past midnight to make flowers for the Christmas-tree, and all sorts of other marvels that were to have astonished us. I was never so bored in m... |
NORA. No, I don't think- oh yes!- I believe- Suddenly brightening. What, Christina! Is it really you? MRS. LINDEN. Yes; really I! NORA. Christina! And to think I didn't know you! But how could I- More softly. How changed you are; Christina! MRS. LINDEN. Yes, no doubt. In nine or ten years- NORA. Is it really so long si... |
Nothing. NORA. And no children? MRS. LINDEN. None. NORA. Nothing, nothing at all? MRS. LINDEN. Not even a sorrow or a longing to dwell upon. NORA. Looking at her incredulously. My dear Christina, how is that possible? MRS. LINDEN. Smiling sadly and stroking her hair. Oh, it happens so sometimes, Nora. NORA. So utterly ... |
NORA. Quietly smiling. Yes; that's what Torvald says I am still. Holding up her forefinger. But "Nora, Nora" is not so silly as you all think. Oh! I haven't had the chance to be much of a spendthrift. We have both had to work. MRS. LINDEN. You too? NORA. Yes, light fancy work: crochet, and embroidery, and things of tha... |
I know how fond you were of him. But then you went to Italy? NORA. Yes; you see, we had the money, and the doctors said we must lose no time. We started a month later. MRS. LINDEN. And your husband came back completely cured. NORA. Sound as a bell. MRS. LINDEN. But- the doctor? NORA. What do you mean? MRS. LINDEN. I th... |
LINDEN. No, Nora; only inexpressibly empty. No one to live for! Stands up restlessly. That's why I could not bear to stay any longer in that out-of-the-way corner. Here it must be easier to find something to take one up- to occupy one's thoughts. If I could only get some settled employment- some office work. NORA. But,... |
LINDEN. Well, well- NORA. You think I've had no troubles in this weary world. MRS. LINDEN. My dear Nora, you've just told me all your troubles. NORA. Pooh- those trifles! Softly. I haven't told you the great thing. MRS. LINDEN. The great thing? What do you mean? NORA. I know you look down upon me, Christina; but you ha... |
LINDEN. My dear Nora, how did you manage it? Did you win it in the lottery? -8- NORA. Contemptuosly. In the lottery? Pooh! Any one could have done that! MRS. LINDEN. Then wherever did you get it from? NORA. Hums and smiles mysteriously. H'm; tra-la-la-la! MRS. LINDEN. Of course you couldn't borrow it. NORA. No? Why not... |
NORA. Yes, of course. After all, the whole thing was my doing. When Torvald gave me money for clothes, and so on, I never spent more than half of it; I always bought the simplest and cheapest things. It's a mercy that everything suits me so well- Torvald never had any suspicions. But it was often very hard, Christina d... |
To be able to play and romp about with the children; to have things tasteful and pretty in the house, exactly as Torvald likes it! And then the spring will soon be here, with the great blue sky. Perhaps then we shall have a little holiday. Perhaps I shall see the sea again. Oh, what a wonderful thing it is to live and ... |
Now it will burn up. She closes the stove, and pushes the rocking-chair a little aside. MRS. LINDEN. His business is not of the most creditable, they say? NORA. Isn't it? I daresay not. I don't know. But don't let us think of business- it's so tiresome. DR. RANK comes out of HELMER'S room. RANK. Still in the doorway. N... |
RANK. I haven't an idea; I only gathered that it was some bank business. NORA. I didn't know that Krog- that this Mr. Krogstad had anything to do with the Bank? RANK. Yes. He has got some sort of place there. To MRS. LINDEN. I don't know whether in your part of the country, you have people who go grubbing and sniffing ... |
Puts a macaroon into his mouth. And you too, Christina. And I'll have one while we're about it- only a tiny one, or at most two. Walks about again. Oh dear, I am happy! There's only one thing in the world I really want. RANK. Well; what's that? NORA. There's something I should so like to say- in Torvald's hearing. RANK... |
To MRS. LINDEN. Very sensible indeed. NORA. And when she heard you were appointed manager- it was telegraphed, you know- she started off at once, and- Torvald, dear, for my sake, you must do something for Christina. Now can't you? -12- HELMER. It's not impossible. I presume Mrs. Linden is a widow? MRS. LINDEN. Yes. HEL... |
Do you see them, Christina? Aren't they lovely? RANK. Don't let us stand here chattering in the draught. HELMER. Come, Mrs. Linden; only mothers can stand such a temperature. DR. RANK, HELMER, and MRS. LINDEN go down the stairs; ANNA enters the room with the children; NORA also, shutting the door. NORA. How fresh and b... |
Loud shouts. She creeps out, as though to frighten them. Fresh shouts. Meanwhile there has been a knock at the door leading into the hall. No one has heard it. Now the door is half opened and KROGSTAD appears. He waits a little; the game is renewed. KROGSTAD. I beg your pardon, Mrs. Helmer- NORA. With a suppressed cry,... |
I am afraid of you no longer. When New Year's Day is over, I shall soon be out of the whole business. KROGSTAD. Controlling himself. Listen to me, Mrs. Helmer. If need be, I shall fight as though for my life to keep my little place in the Bank. NORA. Yes, so it seems. KROGSTAD. It's not only for the salary: that is wha... |
If my husband gets to know about it, he will of course pay you off at once, and then we shall have nothing more to do with you. KROGSTAD. Coming a pace nearer. Listen, Mrs. Helmer: either your memory is defective, or you don't know much about business. I must make the position a little clearer to you. NORA. How so? KRO... |
NORA. Yes, but I can't just now. Run to the nursery; I have so much to do. Run along,- run along, and be good, my darlings! She pushes them gently into the inner room, and closes the door behind them. Sits on the sofa, embroiders a few stitches, but soon pauses. No! Throws down the work, rises, goes to the hall door an... |
Didn't you say that nobody had been here? Threatens with his finger. My little bird must never do that again! A song-bird must sing clear and true; no false notes. Puts his arm round her. That's so, isn't it? Yes, I was sure of it. Lets her go And now we'll say no more about it. Sits down before the fire. Oh, how cosy ... |
HELMER. Well, well, I'll think it over, and we'll soon hit upon something. NORA. Oh, how good that is of you! Goes to the tree again; pause. How well the red flowers show.- Tell me, was it anything so very dreadful this Krogstad got into trouble about? -18- HELMER. Forgery, that's all. Don't you know what that means? N... |
Give me your hand. That's right. Then it's a bargain. I assure you it would have been impossible for me to work with him. It gives me a positive sense of physical discomfort to come in contact with such people. NORA draws her hand away, and moves to the other side of the Christmas-tree. NORA. How warm it is here. And I... |
NORA. Thanks; put it down on the table. ANNA. Does so. But I'm afraid it's very much out of order. NORA. Oh, I wish I could tear it into a hundred thousand pieces! ANNA. Oh, no. It can easily be put to rights- just a little patience. NORA. I shall go and get Mrs. Linden to help me. ANNA. Going out again? In such weathe... |
I'm sure there will be no one at the ball so lovely as my Miss Nora. She goes into the room on the left. NORA. Takes the costume out of the box, but soon throws it down again. Oh, if I dared go out. If only nobody would come. If only nothing would happen here in the meantime. Rubbish; nobody is coming. Only not to thin... |
Rises and walks across the room. Oh, yesterday, it didn't seem so pleasant as usual.- You should have come to town a little sooner, Christina.- Torvald has certainly the art of making home bright and beautiful. MRS. LINDEN. You too, I should think, or you wouldn't be your father's daughter. But tell me- is Doctor Rank ... |
You ought to get clear of all this with Dr. Rank. NORA. Get clear of what? MRS. LINDEN. The whole affair, I should say. You were talking-21- yesterday of a rich admirer who was to find you money- NORA. Yes, one who never existed, worse luck. What then? MRS. LINDEN. Has Doctor Rank money? NORA. Yes, he has. MRS. LINDEN.... |
HELMER. Come, then, out with it. NORA. Your lark would twitter from morning till night- HELMER. Oh, that she does in any case. NORA. I'll be an elf and dance in the moonlight for you, Torvald. HELMER. Nora- you can't mean what you were hinting at this morning? NORA. Coming nearer. Yes, Torvald, I beg and implore you! H... |
That's why I beg and implore you- HELMER. And it is just by pleading his cause that you make it impossible for me to keep him. It's already known at the Bank that I intend to dismiss Krogstad. If it were now reported that the new manager let himself be turned round his wife's little finger- NORA. What then? HELMER. Oh,... |
The address is on it. Here's the money. ELLEN. Very well, sir. Goes with the letter. HELMER. Putting his papers together. There, Madam Obstinacy. NORA. Breathless. Torvald- what was in the letter? HELMER. Krogstad's dismissal. NORA. Call it back again, Torvald! There's still time. Oh, Torvald, call it back again! For m... |
Yes, he would do it. He would do it, in spite of all the world.- No, never that, never, never! Anything rather than that! Oh, for some way of escape! What shall I do-! Hall bell rings. Doctor Rank-!- Anything, anything, rather than-! -24- NORA draws her hands over her face, pulls herself together, goes to the door and ... |
There is only one last investigation to be made, and when that is over I shall know pretty certainly when the break-up will begin. There's one thing I want to say to you: Helmer's delicate nature shrinks so from all that is horrible: I will not have him in my sick-room- NORA. But, Doctor Rank- RANK. I won't have him, I... |
With her hands on his shoulders. Dear, dear Doctor Rank, death shall not take you away from Torvald and me. RANK. Oh, you'll easily get over the loss. The absent are soon forgotten. NORA. Looks at him anxiously. Do you think so? RANK. People make fresh ties, and then- NORA. Who make fresh ties? RANK. You and Helmer wil... |
You sha'n't see anything more; for you don't behave nicely. She hums a little and searches among the things. RANK. After a short silence. When I sit here gossiping with you, I can't imagine- I simply cannot conceive- what would have become of me if I had never entered this house. NORA. Smiling. Yes, I think you do feel... |
NORA. Standing up; simply and calmly. Let me pass, please. RANK. Makes way for her, but remains sitting. Nora- NORA. In the doorway. Ellen, bring the lamp. Crosses to the stove. Oh dear, Doctor Rank, that was too bad of you. RANK. Rising. That I have loved you as deeply as- any one else? Was that too bad of me? NORA. N... |
It has often seemed to me as if you liked being with me almost as much as being with Helmer. NORA. Yes; don't you see? There are people one loves, and others one likes to talk to. RANK. Yes- there's something in that. NORA. When I was a girl, of course I loved papa best. But it always delighted me to steal into the ser... |
It is coming! The dreadful thing is coming, after all. No, no, no, it can never be; it shall not! She goes to HELMER'S door and slips the bolt. ELLEN opens the hall door for KROGSTAD, and shuts it after him. He wears a travelling-coat, high boots, and a fur cap. NORA. Goes towards him. Speak softly; my husband is at ho... |
KROGSTAD. The whole thing can be settled quite amicably. Nobody need know. It can remain among us three. NORA. My husband must never know. KROGSTAD. How can you prevent it? Can you pay off the balance? NORA. No, not at once. KROGSTAD. Or have you any means of raising the money in the next few days? NORA. None- that I w... |
What do you demand then? KROGSTAD. I will tell you. I want to regain my footing in the world. I want to rise; and your husband shall help me to do it. For the last eighteen months my record has been spotless; I have been in bitter need all the time; but I was content to fight my way up, step by step. Now, I've been thr... |
NORA hurries to the door, opens it a little, and listens. NORA. He's going. He's not putting the letter into the box. No, no, it would be impossible! Opens the door further and further. What's that. He's standing still; not going downstairs. Has he changed his mind? Is he-? A letter falls into the box. KROGSTAD's foots... |
LINDEN. Yes, yes; but how can you think-? NORA. You shall bear witness that it's not true, Christina. I'm not out of my mind at all; I know quite well what I'm saying; and I tell you nobody else knew anything about it; I did the whole thing, I myself. Remember that. -30- MRS. LINDEN. I shall remember. But I don't under... |
Opens HELMER'S door and peeps in. Torvald! HELMER. Well, may one come into one's own room again at last? Come, Rank, we'll have a look- In the doorway. But how's this? NORA. What, Torvald dear? HELMER. Rank led me to expect a grand transformation. RANK. In the doorway. So I understood. I suppose I was mistaken. NORA. N... |
Yes, dreadfully! Let me rehearse at once. We have time before dinner. Oh, do sit down and play for me, Torvald dear; direct me and put me right, as you used to do. HELMER. With all the pleasure in life, since you wish it. Sits at piano. NORA snatches the tambourine out of he box, and hurriedly drapes herself in a long ... |
HELMER. Certainly, certainly. NORA. Neither to-day nor to-morrow must you think of anything but me. You mustn't open a single letter- mustn't look at the letter- box. HELMER. Ah, you're still afraid of that man- NORA. Oh yes, yes, I am. HELMER. Nora, I can see it in your face- there's a letter from him in the box. NORA... |
What is it you're waiting for? NORA. Oh, you can't understand. Go to them in the dining-room; I shall come in a moment. MRS. LINDEN goes into the dining-room. NORA stands for a moment as though collecting her thoughts; then looks at her watch. NORA. Seven hours till midnight. Then twenty-four hours till the next midnig... |
I should not have thought so. MRS. LINDEN. Because you have never really understood me. KROGSTAD. What was there to understand? The most natural thing in the world- a heartless woman throws a man over when a better match offers. MRS. LINDEN. Do you really think me so heartless? Do you think I broke with you lightly? KR... |
MRS. LINDEN. Then life has taught you a very sensible thing. But deeds you will trust? KROGSTAD. What do you mean? MRS. LINDEN. You said you were a shipwrecked man, clinging to a spar. KROGSTAD. I have good reason to say so. MRS. LINDEN. I too am shipwrecked, and clinging to a spar. I have no one to mourn for, no one t... |
MRS. LINDEN. I need some one to be a mother to, and your children need a mother. You need me, and I- I need you. Nils, I believe in your better self. With you I fear nothing. KROGSTAD. Seizing her hands. Thank you- thank you, Christina. Now I shall make others see me as you do.- Ah, I forgot- MRS. LINDEN. Listening. Hu... |
Yes, in my first alarm. But a day has passed since then, and in that day I have seen incredible things in this house. Helmer must know everything; there must be an end to this unhappy secret. These two must come to a full understanding. They must have done with all these shifts and subterfuges. KROGSTAD. Very well, if ... |
MRS. LINDEN. Yes, I ought to apologise. I did so want to see Nora in her costume. NORA. Have you been sitting here waiting for me? MRS. LINDEN. Yes; unfortunately I came too late. You had gone upstairs already, and I felt I couldn't go away without seeing you. HELMER. Taking Nora's shawl off. Well then, just look at he... |
LINDEN. You have nothing to fear from Krogstad; but you must speak out. NORA. I shall not speak! MRS. LINDEN. Then the letter will. NORA. Thank you, Christina. Now I know what I have to do. Hush-! HELMER. Coming back. Well, Mrs. Linden, have you admired her? MRS. LINDEN. Yes; and now I must say good-night. -36- HELMER.... |
There, you see. I was right after all not to let you stay longer. NORA. Oh, everything you do is right. HELMER. Kissing her forehead. Now my lark is speaking like a reasonable being. Did you notice how jolly Rank was this evening? NORA. Indeed? Was he? I had no chance of speaking to him. HELMER. Nor I, much; but, I hav... |
HELMER. And then, when the time comes to go, and I put the shawl about your smooth, soft shoulders, and this glorious neck of yours, I imagine you are my bride, that our marriage is just over, that I am bringing you for the first time to my home- that I am alone with you for the first time- quite alone with you, in-37-... |
Well, I haven't much to boast of in that respect. RANK. Slapping him on the shoulder. But I have, don't you see? NORA. I suppose you have been engaged in a scientific investigation, Doctor Rank? RANK. Quite right. HELMER. Bless me! Little Nora talking about scientific investigations! NORA. Am I to congratulate you on t... |
RANK. A thousand thanks. She holds the match. He lights his cigar at it. RANK. And now, good-bye! HELMER. Good-bye, good-bye, my dear fellow. NORA. Sleep well, Doctor Rank. RANK. Thanks for the wish. NORA. Wish me the same. RANK. You? Very well, since you ask me- Sleep well. And thanks for the light. He nods to them bo... |
Has he told you anything? NORA. Yes. These cards mean that he has taken his last leave of us. He is going to shut himself up and die. HELMER. Poor fellow! Of course I knew we couldn't hope to keep him long. But so soon-! And to go and creep into his lair like a wounded animal- NORA. When we must go, it is best to go si... |
Never, never.- Oh that black, icy water! Oh that bottomless-! If it were only over! Now he has it; he's reading it. Oh, no, no, no, not yet. Torvald, good-bye-! Good-bye, my little ones-! She is rushing out by the hall; at the same moment HELMER flings his door open, and stands there with an open letter in his hand. HE... |
I ought to have foreseen it. All your father's want of principle- be silent!- all your father's want of principle you have inherited- no religion, no morality, no sense of duty. How I am punished for screening him! I did it for your sake; and you reward me like this. NORA. Yes- like this. HELMER. You have destroyed my ... |
So late! Can it be the worst? Can he-? Hide yourself, Nora; say you are ill. NORA stands motionless. HELMER goes to the door and opens it. ELLEN. Half dressed, in the hall. Here is a letter for you, ma'am. HELMER. Give it to me. Seizes the letter and shuts the door. Yes, from him. You shall not have it. I shall read it... |
Oh, my poor Nora, I understand; you cannot believe that I have forgiven you. But I have, Nora; I swear it. I have forgiven everything. I know that what you did was all for love of me. -41- NORA. That is true. HELMER. You loved me as a wife should love her husband. It was only the means that, in your inexperience, you m... |
There is something indescribably sweet and soothing to a man in having forgiven his wife- honestly forgiven her, from the bottom of his heart. She becomes his property in a double sense. She is as though born again; she has become, so to speak, at once his wife and his child. That is what you shall henceforth be to me,... |
NORA. I am not talking of cares. I say that we have never yet set ourselves seriously to get to the bottom of anything. HELMER. Why, my dearest Nora, what have you to do with serious things? NORA. There we have it! You have never understood me.- I have had great injustice done me, Torvald; first by father, and then by ... |
Here I have been your doll-wife, just as at home I used to be papa's doll-child. And the children, in their turn, have been my dolls. I thought it fun when you played with me, just as the children did when I played with them. That has been our marriage, Torvald. HELMER. There is some truth in what you say, exaggerated ... |
I must try to gain experience, Torvald. HELMER. To forsake your home, your husband, and your children! And you don't consider what the world will say. NORA. I can pay no heed to that. I only know that I must do it. HELMER. This is monstrous! Can you forsake your holiest duties in this way? NORA. What do you consider my... |
I really don't know- I am all at sea about these things. I only know that I think quite differently from you about them. I hear, too, that the laws are different from what I thought: but I can't believe that they can be right. It appears that a woman has no right to spare her dying father, or to save her husband's life... |
To part- to part from you! No, Nora, no; I can't grasp the thought. NORA. Going into room on the right. The more reason for the thing to happen. She comes back with out-door things and a small travelling-bag, which she places on a chair. HELMER. Nora, Nora, not now! Wait till to-morrow. NORA. Putting on cloak. I can't ... |
I must help you if you need it. NORA.No, I say. I take nothing from strangers. HELMER.Nora- can I never be more than a stranger to you?NORA. Taking her travelling-bag. Oh, Torvald, then the miracle of miracles would have to happen- HELMER.What is the miracle of miracles?NORA.Both of us would have to change so that- Oh,... |
