A DOLLS HOUSE - QUOTES
ACT ONE:
• A tactfully, but not expensively furnished room.
Torvald Helmer
• Just think how a man with a thing like that on his conscience will always be having to lie and
cheat and dissemble; he can never drop the mask, not even with his own wife and children.
• Oh, what a glorious feeling it is, knowing you’ve got a nice, safe job, and a good fat income.
• I am not so heartless that I would necessarily want to condemn a man for a single mistake like
that.
• Is that my skylark twittering out there? / Expensive it is for a man to keep such a pet.
• Generally traceable to mothers, but of course fathers can have the same in uence.
• No debts! Never borrow! A home that is founded on debts and borrowing can never be a place
of freedom.
Nora Helmer
• Here’s a pound. No, keep it.
• Pops the bag of macaroons in her pocket and wipes her mouth.
• He’s so proud of being a man - it’d be so painful and humiliating for him to know that he owed
anything to me.
• Pops a macaroon into his mouth […] hiding the bag of macaroons.
• I would never dream of doing anything you didn’t want me to.
• Oh, I think I can say that some of us have a little in uence now and again. Just because one
happens to be a woman, doesn’t mean…
• Almost like being a man.
• No, it was not. It was I who wrote papa’s name there.
• Go away, my darlings, go away. She pushes them.
• Corrupt my little children - ! Poison my home!
Kristine Linde
• Well, a wife can’t borrow money without her husband’s consent.
ACT TWO:
• Christmas tree stands stripped and dishevelled.
