Ogai produced a fair number of works in which main character was female, and some of these had the heroine's name as a title, such as the plays "Yasui fujin" (The Wife of Yasui), "Shizuka" and "Hanako," plus the translated play "Nora" (original title "A Doll's House" by Ibsen).
その鴎外の作品には、女性を主人公にしたものが少なくなく、ヒロインの名を題名にしたものも複数ある（『安井夫人』、戯曲『静』、『花子』、翻訳戯曲『ノラ』（イプセン作『人形の家』））。
