"What happened after Nora left?" is Lu Xun's (1923) critical essay on the character Nora's experiences in the play "A Doll's House." Initially, Nora on stage feels she has found her place in the turbulent social currents. However, through dialogues and self-reflection, Nora becomes increasingly aware of her status as a puppet in society. She realizes that not only she but also the children playing with dolls are manipulated by others. In the end, Nora decides to leave, symbolized by the sound of a closing door, followed by the curtains falling.
