A Doll's House audiobook
by Henrik Ibsen
A Doll's House, written two years after The Pillars of Society, was the first of Ibsen's plays to create a sensation and is now perhaps his most famous play, and required reading in many secondary schools and universities. The play was highly controversial when first published, as it is sharply critical of 19th Century marriage norms. It follows the formula of well-made play up until the final act, when it breaks convention by ending with a discussion, not an unravelling. It is often called the first true feminist play, although Ibsen denied this. From Wikipedia
Act 1 start: 1:14
Act 2 start: 59:25
Act 3 start: 1:44:16

Nora at the beginning: “I love my husband!”
Nora at the end: “You disgust me, human.”
Understandably so.
Just like me.
Nora and her husband have the weirdest baby talk with eachother💀 “little squirrel”
Fr 😭😭😭
it's just torvald's yap she calling her those as pet names
Anyone forced to listen/read this during quarantine or is it just me?

Is so much better to hear it than to read it. Save time saver.

Kalel Mares so true....wish I knew this was here before I paid 10$ for the book...lol
I love Dr Rank's voice in this, its so calm and friendly.
Thank you for this rendition. The voice of Nora gave me a glimpse of the actual character.
Tip for y'all that have to listen to this for class. Increase the playback speed to 1.25 or 1.5 and it will go faster
I have it on 1.75
Damn didn't even thought of that after I finished listening 😂

Godspeed
I love Doctor Ranks voice and accent I just wished he had a better microphone.

I looked away from my book for a second while the audio kept playing and i was shook because i thought Torvald had said "No fights b*tches please" at 2:09:27 💀
ahahahaha
LMAOOOO
What is he really saying?
In context it's easier to understand. He said, "no fine speeches please."
Man this cracked me up 😂
ngl, if nora doesn't take rank i will
Lauren Givot you have to take him from me first...😂😂

Rank’s the real G in this story
I KNOW

Oh Nora, you are so THOUGHTless. If only knew the truth, Torvald old buddy.....😂🤣
real shit my guy
Lmao I’m dead.
How do I reword this for my English paper.
@@leticialopez8638 💀😂😭 same
A distinct thread of deceit runs through the character of Nora. At first glance it seems sincere in saving the health of her husband but she lies without abandonment while her husband calls her a song bird or squirrel. There must be a wide age difference to them and it keeps her so childlike. Wonderful bit of storytelling and it’s great to have it well read and in keeping with the customs and dialogue of that era.
I have a quiz about this due in 3 hours. Someone pray for me pls lol
Chefkoch Marius im supposed to have finished this book today luckily i wasnt at school today
I got a quiz in 30 mins
I know this was 4 months ago but I would have told you to set the video to a quicker speed. I'm blowing right through this play
How’d you do?

Dr rank is the best character in this play
Yes
I wonder if this is a LibriVox recording

It is how did you know
I can’t quite tell, I think it might be
@@ivyyb331 but can we really be sure about that?
Adam R i don’t think so
I will replay this video as often as needed instead of reading the damn thing.
That was two painful hours
Inivican lol, i just put this on double speed and played it in the background of whatever I've been doing.
Man, the plot is as boring as watching paint dry.
tell me about it
ini the man it’s better than sitting down and having to read it yourself.
This is a damn soap opera from before television's. So damn dry
Nora: *Borrows money without her husband's knowledge, commits fraud, and almost completely destroys their livelihood*
Torvald: *Gets mad*
Nora: You don't love me I'm leaving you.
Now that I've listened to the whole play, I stand with Nora. Torvald treated her like a play thing. He isn't mad about the fraud b/c it was wrong, he's worried about his reputation. Once the fraud is absolved, he's all "I love you". Nora grew a whole lot in those three days.
Lol
@@saladsoup3815 trueeeee!!
@@saladsoup3815 😂😂 so Torvald’s professional reputation being tarnished isn’t something to be mad about?
To be fair if she only had her own autonomy and didn't need the permission of some male to borrow money none of this would have been an issue
Are english teachers alright? like they really be finding this to be IMMACULATE but im over here falling asleep
Yeah fr idk why they're so obsessed with old ass books with mediocre story lines. It would be so nice to read something written in the 21st century every once in a while so that we could talk about the actual current state of these issues instead of some old dudes take on those issues from like 150 years ago
@@whatcanidooo There are actually some really interesting older books, teachers just seem to like picking the most boring ones they can find
@@will-jh7yi Yeah I get that, I just think that we should read current books when we are using them to talk about current issues. Like I think that something like shakespeare is well worth reading because his work is so incredibly influential (and it's just fun). I even think it's worth it to read the odyssey for this reason, even though I personally found it unengaging. But my teacher used this play to talk about women's role in society *today*, or they'll use To Kill a Mockingbird as the book we use to talk about racism (obviously that one's not by a man but it's got the same issue just with race). I feel like there's so much good modern literature but we just keep reading these crusty books that are less engaging AND less relevant then what we could be reading.
Sorry for the rant lol just wanted to make sure I was explaining myself properly
@@whatcanidooo You spittin facts tho
I only saw this because I need to do an essay draft and I have like 1h left, I didn't even start
for those writing an essay 4:10 makes an excellent quote!

😂lol
heheh poo hehe
dr rank's voice is so soothing, he even has white noise whenever he talks due to their superb mic quality to soothe listeners further!!
facts, i want him to read me a bedtime story
This play was excellent! I really enjoyed it. I like how this audiobook had the different voices for all the different characters. I had a great time listening to this play.
Thank you so much for this. I had to read it for school but had no time to sit down and read it. I was able to listen to it while painting
Why does helmer actually act like a discord admin oh my GOD
LMAO
This audiobook but everytime it gets to Christine it is earrape and +5db bass boost per line.
i remember when that was considered funny thank you ;)
Listening to this during the apocalypse
So Helmer is Tovolt? Took me until the last 20min to conclude that 😁

Stopped listening and started reading comments 20 min in
Is it possible she left her children because she didn't want to poison their minds like torvalt said
yes, I just read a criticism on it and it said exactly that! you're very smart and good catch :)
yes, because she felt she was not a good enough mother
Why is everyone in this play so hypocritical? The husband gave her sweet words the whole time, then the moment he reads the letter he tells her to act according to a script. Her friend promised Nora to help her, yet immediately says no to “help” her knowing that it might destroy their family.
i see what you mean but the sweet words were actually mean to be demeaning and condescending, bc he assumes shes unintelligent and child-like !

I like how I came here for my English class and now I find myself and others thinking Dr. Rank's voice is so attractive XD
It’s 2018 and waiting until the last minute to “read” this is the equivalent of forging a bond

Ignore this comment. I just wanted to remember where I was left.
Wonderful
LMAO
Does anyone else hate Christine's voice?! I'm so annoyed
yoonkay. JAJAJJAJAJA YESSSS
Now
KayTheVirgo the widow? I thought it fit in, a woman without purpose wrought with depression would probably sound like that.
She sounds like such a bitch, she has a such a condescending tone
Yes me too oh my god 😩
this was entirely amazing! my first super long read of the script is well worth it! This is really awe-inspiring. the 3rd act really brought to light why the title has been chosen!
A friend of mine took me to see the play A Doll's House: Part 2. I loved it. It was amazing! I had quite the emotional connection to 3 of the 4 characters. This was a nice reading of the first one so I was able to know what happened before hand!
Dr.Ranks voice is quite nice😳
All of y’all ate! Loved all the voice actors❤ They all did such wonderful jobs! Anyone who finds this boring clearly didn’t get the story or perhaps just didn’t like it because they were forced to use it to complete their work for a grade. Nonetheless I loved every single voice actor❗️❗️
Put it on playback speed 1.25, it is faster and you can still understand what they are saying. =)
Thank you
You just saved me like 30 min of this
Nora is such a coward to leave her kids and husband. But this is true that torvald should have thought about nora's well being before his own when he found out she forged her father's signature. But no, torvald was only worried about his reputation and how he would be ridiculed. But nora has no right to give him a speech when all she told were lies. Thought they were for good cause, she should have trusted her husband to understand and accept what she did. Her lack in doing this also makes her a coward
demetri rhodes thanks for spoiling it (no really its save alot time)
Lack of communication portrays a huge aspect in what kills a relationship
demetri rhodes she left her kids, because he’s doing as what torvald had said in the beginning. “A mother like that would poison the children’s minds”
The only person I really hate in this story is the husband. What an awful marriage. She’s always having to tiptoe and please him all the time. Such a fake life.
Nora went for trovods life!!!! I was screaming !!!!!
I just finished this book for my AP book report and essay. I can say, I thought it was really boring at first, but near the end or most of Act 3 really made it worthwhile. Both Nora and Torvald were in the wrong in my opinion. She went such lengths to commit fraud and then kept lying. Then Torvald treats her weirdly and cared about his reputation. Although, I’m kinda on Torvald’s side more because Nora actions really annoyed me. I really don’t like her character but I can understand some bits like her not wanting to be treated as a doll or being unhappy with her relationship. Either way, she kinda put herself in that situation. It was a sad ending, I felt somewhat bad for Torvald because he seemed like he would really change for her. Oh, and Dr. Rank was a cool character, I thought he liked Christine at first but nope it was Nora lmao. I also don’t know how to feel about Christine
I need your help writing my essay!!
LMAO Nope. Screw Torvald. He’s so condescending and rude! He was so ready to keep her from raising their children so they aren’t ruined by a criminal, and once their reputations are saved, he takes it all back? She should have let him die LMAO i hate him
Anyone else hate Torvald? He mistreats her, and only forgives her once he knows his reputation has been saved. What a wazzbag
Nora literally committed fraud, lied to her husband, and your saying Torvald mistreated nora??? Damn you stupid. Smh
The character playing Christine sounds leaden,unconvincing.
TheDAT573 Maybe she read the whole boring ass book
It's because of her situation. She feels empty in life because everything was taken from her and she was in the dumps. that is why she was read that way
What a superb production. Top notch. Was it all done over the phone? Nobody has sounded more authentically posh Norwegian since Dick Van Dyke in Diagnosis: Murder.
I have a drama exam tomorrow and I’m performing a piece from this part and will be questioned on what a dolls house was about
Got an essay due for this tomorrow, so I am endlessly thankful for 2x speed
Got the whole play assigned over break did the entire thing the day before we come back

Why does Doctor Rank sound like the kid from the You're a Wizard Harry video?? O.O

What a wonderful play! Most women understand this just like that but a certain intelligence for many men and some women to digest this. Women treated and thought as helpless beautiful creatures not good enough to know the world and self is still very much a norm.
I wonder if Torvald put her on child support?
he must've lmao

The play was alright, but then that ended had me floored. I had to listen to this for an assignment but holy crap was that good.
Why can't you just go off to college or something come back once you have found your true self.
The introductions are brilliant.
I HAVE A FUCKING TEST ON THIS TOMORROW‼️
Thanks for posting this fam
What an incredible message to end the play
Very helpful! Thanks for uploading this
I’m listening on 1.5 speed and Krogstad sounds like Ben Shapiro
OH MY GOSH
that was literally my first thought
Who is here for Dr. Rank?
i have a essay in his in my womens history classs thanks prof for making the due date the day after easter monday due april 23 2019
Man you can really hear the hurt in torvals voice at the end. I feel sorry for him. He was just trying to do the best the he knew how to be in that time period. That hurt
I am unable to give this play my full approval. I really like the beginning because it’s so realistic to this day! I can completely relate to the petit-bourgeoise vibe of the Helmer household. I can also empathize with issues like struggling to pay the bills.
However, the plot is so unrealistic it’s hard to take it seriously. Yes, Thorvald’s a pompous jerk, but you know what? Nora’s a dingbat! Committing fraud is no way to solve a problem. Forging signatures on loan docs is bad news, especially if your hubby manages a bank. Never mind colluding with a snake like Krogstad.
I understand Ibsen’s point, I just don’t think this plot does it justice.
The fact that a woman is not allowed to merely take out a loan all on her own and has to resort to fraud just to protect her husbands fragile ego does even more Justice to the message
@@starstriker8268 You have to have steady income to get a loan. There’s no justice in committing fraud and then crying “victim”.
