The ideology of the world is so possessed by 'meta narrative' that it is almost impossible to break the shackles of the Metanarrative and follow the path of 'micro narrative' even in the postmodern world. The inquisitive mind of the Postmodern people rejects the Kantian hypothesis of 'objective truth' and they embrace Derrida's idea of 'difference' vis-à-vis Lyotard's insightful observation of micro-narratives. It is an age of pluralism where every individual craves for creating their own identity by rejecting totalitarianism. The techno arts or technical advancement helps people to distort such 'absolute reality' or 'totality'. As the title of the article suggests this paper will try to examine Nora from Ibsen's A Doll's House, keeping in mind the binary opposition of the postmodern world such as – Structure/de-structure, Centre/De-centre, Grand narrative/Micro narrative, Legitimization/De-legitimization. This article will try to highlight how the self-realization of Nora that her mind is possessed by the totalitarian knowledge of patriarchy and her negotiation of static 'duty' towards her husband constitute her identity as a postmodern woman – a woman who questions 'traditionalism' and falsify the 'whole' or 'center'. Finally, this article will show Nora's trial of destroying the patriarchal discourse and her trial to de-center the phallocentric notion.
