Abstract: This paper explores the theme of spatial politics and domestic entrapment in Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House.Through the symbolic stage setting and character dynamics of the Helmer household, Ibsen presents a critique of women's confinement.Nora lives in a socio-politically curated domestic space, which reflects patriarchal control.Her eventual rebellion, symbolized by her exit slamming of the gate marks her realization of the heterotopic space in which she does not belong to.
