A Doll house and its controversial character Nora, stands for the new ideal woman and her rights in society and marriage. His A Doll House has been the source of inspiration for many critics, dramatists and directors in film industry. The theme and the plot have been adapted and recreated in different societies that share the same concerns, one of these societies is Iran. Darius Mehrjooei the Iranian director who has had an interest in Ibsen’s works has adapted A Doll House in his film “Sarah” in 1371. The goal of the paper is to analyze the character of Nora with its Iranian adapted version Sarah, to see the degree of her similarity and faithfulness to the Ibsen’s character, Nora. In doing so, the feelings, emotional and social status of the two characters will be elaborated on, taking the basic views and assumptions of feminism as a method of comparison. Furthermore, the character of Sarah will stand to represent the Persian way of reading A Doll House, holding the views of an Iranian director.
