  • Is Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House the feminist landmark it’s often portrayed to be? Or is it a critique of radical individualism and the undermining of traditional societal roles? The Post Millennial’s Libby Emmons joins Michael Knowles to discuss this groundbreaking 19th-century play and explore its insights into our intrinsic selfish nature and tendency to lie for self-preservation.

    I had to read Ibsen’s 'A Doll’s House' for a World Literature class when I was in 10th Grade (25 years ago). I'm definitely not a "literature person." but I remember enjoying reading this novel as well as Thomas Hardy's 'Jude the Obscure' for the World Lit class. I don't particularly enjoy reading fiction or novels. I have dyslexia and ADD, so that plays a part in my displeasure in fiction novels. My BetaMale English teacher had the contemporary feminist interpretation of 'A Doll's House' while I, as a conservative, and few of my devout Catholic classmates, had a similar interpretation that Libby does.

    Michael, I saw you had Libby on and instantly added it to the top of my watch list.
    Libby, you did not disappoint. I’m a great admirer of your work on PM, love when you’re on TimCast. But this opened a whole other dimension of your character to me. So glad I got to see you in your passion discussing truth and beauty. Let’s bring that back.

    Norwegian here. I was shocked when my Norwegian teacher told me Doll house was played all over the world TODAY.

    The original title, "Et dukkehjem", can also be translated as "a house of puppets".

    I enjoyed this conversation. I was into practical science in my education. Maybe I am a bit autistic, but I have difficulty understanding human motivations beyond raw emotions. My best understanding is from my love of truth, honesty and beauty. I would love to see Libby come back to The Book Club again.

    I suspect at least half of the conservative women won't like this interpretation of this play either.

    I did theater for over 20 years and somehow never saw nor performed in A Doll House. This is making me want to direct the show.

    When are we going to see Mises, Locke, Hayek, Bastiat, or Rothbard be mentioned in this series? I am currently reading "Liberalism" by Ludwig von Mises. The things he has written about liberalism are very different from the modern liberalism we have today. I'm not gonna go into detail cause there's a lot to talk about. I will however say this: the book defines what liberalism is and why liberty, private property, free markets, and freedom are good and why socialism is bad. I highly recommend people to read it.
