Symbolism in A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen During the early nineteenth century, women were viewed as delicate, innocent, and uneducated in the ways of the world, as prizes for a man’s fiscal success. The law treated women only slightly better than it did children. Women could not vote, and they were not considered capable of handling their own financial affairs. It was out of the question for a woman to consider borrowing money in her own name, and when she married, her finances were immediately placed under the control of her husband.
