The process of adaptation demands in depth meaning and exploration to represent the cultural aspects in any piece of literature. By applying the theoretical framework of adaptation by Linda Hutcheon, this study focuses on the detailed analysis about the characters. Moreover, it portrays a unique trend of the practical approach to articulating ideas of what author holds in his story. Adaptation is a process that focus more on the characterization, delivery of the dialogues and setting which further interrogates how different piece of literature are being adapted and how cultural implication and representation work differently in this process. Study shows how the idea of Ibsen’s play A Doll’s House was presented in the several English adaptations. Generally, adaptations were used culturally to represent the settings, conflict, and plot of the play rather to exaggerate what is being seen in the play. Ibsen’s play A Doll’s House was adapted quite often and every adaptation presents a unique notion of culture with respect to the particular locality which further emphasizes on the audience who were adhering that particular culture.enCinematic adaptation starring Henrik Ibsen's play a doll's houseThesis
