A comfortable household, a secret loan and a wife who is treated as a pet until she decides to think for herself. Ibsen builds the plot like a well-made thriller and then stops it for a conversation, and the closing door became one of the most argued-over endings in theatre. Some machinery creaks, but the last act still lands.
