Answer and explanation:

You have already provided the answer along with the question. I will then develop the answer a little more.

The literary excerpt in the question was indeed written by Henrik Ibsen. The excerpt was taken from the Ibsen's play "A Doll's House". Torvald and Nora are husband and wife whose marriage is controlled by sexist ideas and behaviors on Torvald's side. He treats Nora as a doll, a toy who will dress up and do whatever he wishes her to. At a time (1879) when women did not have an equal role and participation in society, Nora forged her late father's signature to borrow some money from the same bank where her husband works. Later on, she is blackmailed by the employee who loaned her the money, Krogstad. Torvald wants to fire him, so Krogstad threatens Nora to maintain his position at the bank.

The excerpt in the question shows how Nora feels about her life. By the end of the play, she realizes she is unhappy leading a life of lies and blind submission. After being completely humiliated by Torvald once he finds out about the loan, Nora begins to see things clearly. She chooses to leave Torvald and her children. The play was considered shocking back when it was written.
