100 word review: A Doll's House

I read this play as part of my A2 English Literature and Language course. I believe that plays are meant to be watched and not read, but there is no doubting that A Doll's House is a fantastic play. When it was published it caused created controversy over the ending, (which I shan't spoil for you), and the whole play thoroughly tests the cultural norms of 19th century marriage. I liked it but now want to watch it. Then again, some of Ibsen's more subtle messages can be seen when you have the words in front of you to analyse.
