In Ibsen's "A Doll's House," these three themes are all represented. The topics of obedience and control appear constantly in the relationship between the married couple. The husband is supposed to control, and the wife is supposed to obey. Appearance vs. reality is clear in the story as well, particularly when it comes to Nora's true nature. Finally, the play often discusses money, and what an impact money has on the lives of the characters.
