    The term 'Point of View' is used only in relation to prose fiction.

    It indicates which character  is telling the story and whose perspective the readers get as they read the story.

    "A Dolls House" is a drama.

    All of the action is played out in front of the audience. We the readers get to read only the text of the play. When we read the text of the play we have to visualise each scene as being played out in front of our eyes.

    As such,there is no scope to visualise a particular individual character's perspective.
