There are two key points to consider about point of view in these four plays. First, the story in each unfolds with a narrative focus on a particular character - Nora ("A Doll's House"), Mrs. Alving ("Ghosts"), Hedda ("Hedda Gabler") and Solness ("The Master Builder"). Each narrative follows the character from their point of view, from beginning to end. Even when they're not on the stage, the actions and conversations of the other characters relate directly to what they (the other characters) can, will, and intend to do in relation to the central ones.
