Ethics of Self-fashioning and the Question of Power in Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House Abstract: My paper shows how ethics relates to the question of power in Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House . The female protagonist, Nora’s experience of living in her husband’s house teaches her to lead the ethical revolution breaking off herself from the patriarchal ethical system of her society. Her encounter with patriarchal power in her husband, Helmer’s house constitutes her ethical education. In the Ibsenian universe, ethics is one’s capacity to self-fashion oneself than accepting moral education of patriarchal society. Nora is an ethical character because she rejects the so-called moral values of European society and starts the ethical education of her intensely interpersonal experience. Nora also repudiates the whole juridico-discursive tradition of ethical theory of European society. She wants to cut off the patriarch’s head to initiate a revolutionary ethics: in ethical theory that had still to be done in Europe at her time.
