1880s England

• Henry Arthur Jones and Henry Herman updated Nora's story into an English domestic melodrama titled 'Breaking a Butterfly' in 1884.
• The break from the original script comes late in the play, where Torvald protects his wife through claiming guilt for her crime, thus preserving the sanctity of the domestic sphere and showing the manliness that Torvald fails to display.
• Torvald Helmer becomes Humphrey Goddard, Nora becomes Flora, and Nils Krogstadt becomes Phillip Dunkley.
