In her house she is a perfect wife, the kind of wife Torvald adored to have. The sickness in this play
is incurable, endemic, and traditional. For there seems to be widespread agreement that Ibsen's
portrayal of that society emphasizes how middle-class life here is limiting, brutal, and unforgiving.
Even a small part like the nursemaid is tied in to the major theme of Nora’s maturity from child to

Krogstad but eventually ended up with him again as she was unable to leave alone as she thought.
But we learn that such benefits come at a price: one must conform to a view of proper conduct
which is, in many respects, extremely narrow, savagely enforced, and unforgiving. Everything in the
house seemed to remind him of his dear wife and it now becomes his turn to feel the same loneliness
she had once felt. Helmer, however, manages the tranquility of the house by suppressing conflicts
that may emerge out of Nora's individuality. Nora opens up about everything and Torvald, feeling
guilty for harshly judging and condemning her so soon, begins to apologize and becomes confused
when he learns that she forged for his sake. The five major characters are all closely related and there
lives all cross one another somewhere in the play. One of Ibsen’s messages about marriage and
family is to manage to be happy together, everyone has to take care and understand herself before
she can take care of others. Ibsen’s choice of title is both good and ironic; good because it brings
thoughts to the perfect family-life, and ironic because the play tells about how the inside of the
house; the family, the marriage, the relations etc., struggles with a lot of problems in contrast to the
facade. The following lines of the poem depict the memories left behind. See other similar resources

reading responses to and interpretations of this play, one frequently comes across statements like the
following: Patriarchy's socialization of women into servicing creatures is the major accusation in
Nora's painful account to Torvald of how first her father, and then he, used her for their amusement...
how she had no right to think for herself, only the duty to accept their opinions. I don't propose to set
forth a fully detailed argument in support of this thesis, but I would like to raise some questions
which might invite readers to consider (or re-consider) the adequacy of what I have sketched out
above (in much too cursory a fashion) as the most common response to this play. We as the audience
can learn something about yourself and the world through the characters feelings. One film
production of the play (I believe the one starring Jane Fonda) makes this explicit by showing us
Krogstad's desperately cold and cramped living quarters, where he has to try to raise his children.
The story usually included a predictable crisis involving the loss of something important, guilty
secrets and mistaken identity. Nora Helmer, the wife of Torvald Helmer, throughout the whole play
has been keeping a secret from her husband. Ibsen moved away form tradition with his
characterisation. Torvald When we turn our attention to Torvald the most important point we can
make (to begin with) is the most obvious: he is a very successful particip ant in this middle-class
society, a professional on the way up the social scale, in charge of the engine of middle-class
respectability, the bank. Nora answers; “. And besides, how painful and humiliating it would be for
Torvald, with his manly independence, to know that he owed me anything. My aim here is, as I say,

she has with Major Barbara or the Goodbye Girl. It focuses on the significance of its title, behavior
of the main characters (Nora, Helmer, Dr. ank, Krogstad, and Mrs. Linde), the relationships between
them, and the reasons for their actions. One film production of the play (I believe the one starring

After all had left, it is only memories that were left behind for them to remember. In her house she is
a perfect wife, the kind of wife Torvald adored to have. He seems to like his job and, so far as we
can tell, he has earned his success. Nora stays at home while Torvald works as a manager at a bank.
The image pattern of Nora shows a change comparing of the beginning of the book when she brags
in front of people. There is here no consoling sense that nature offers any alternative to society:
nature here is brutal, a symbolic extension of the wintry life outside the respectable social group.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Ibsen channels these changes and harnesses them into a
creative and well-crafted meditation upon many social and class aspects of society. There is a sense
of tranquility that occurs in the house. Review 4 Select overall rating (no rating) Your rating is

some guidance on remaining academically honest when referring to these essays. According to the
Britannica article on Henrik Ibsen, the “proper voice” of the Norwegian playwright came with the
writing of A Doll's house in 1879. Her personality goes from being content and secure, to being
worried and insecure. Nora is in a very hard situation with Krogstad because of the loan she took a
long time ago. They are revealed and explained in different ways as the play progresses. For example
Nora’s dilemma makes you think about your own ideas about relationships. However, the common
factor shared between both the works is loss and loneliness which cannot be filled again.
The characters within the two plays have been used to portray the happenings in the society and
communicate various themes to the reader. Nora at first comes off as a normal housewife and a
mother tending to the kids, maintaining the living environment, and being an essential part to her
marriage and family. There is a sort of longing and yearning for their loved ones to return but hope
seems bleak as those left behind feel emptiness and loneliness creep upon them. When a person is
independent and safe on her own, she is able to love and take care of her true love and family. Nora
continues to inform Torvald about her feelings, about how he and her father have made a big sin
against her. “It is your fault that I have made nothing of my life” (66). There is room here to
celebrate Christmas with presents, to employ servants, to play music, to enjoy all sorts of creature
comforts, and to celebrate with one's friends. This action causes a drastic change within her
personality from beginning to end. And finally in act three, the audience feels calm as the
confrontation between Nora and Torvald approaches. There are also a number of resources attached
for this unit of work. More about herself is revealed within the first act (and as the play progresses)
when Nora comes face to face with another character named Krogstad. You cannot see them just
now, for they are out with their nurse” (7). The audience knows that this isn’t really the end as we
learnt before Mrs Linde left Krogstad but eventually ended up with him again as she was unable to
leave alone as she thought. This reflects the old sight of male and female position in the home or
relation; the man is the one who should be responsible for the income and be independent. This point
is, as we shall see, important in any final assessment of Nora's final decision (which has no
significantly transforming effect upon those she leaves behind). This resource hasn't been reviewed

tragedy, and Nora has (for me) far more in common with, say, Oedipus or Antigone than she has
with Major Barbara or the Goodbye Girl. Her exit, thus, is much more a self-destructive assertion of
her uncompromising and powerful ego, a necessary expression of her Romantic quest for freedom,
than it is an intelligently earned insight into how best she can learn to function as an individual amid
a conforming and oppressive society. Nora was one such stereo type who was controlled by her
husband Torvald Helmer, who was very controlling and he looked upon Nora as one of his
responsibilities. There is an important emotional component to their distress as well, for the isolation
they must endure can leave them unable to create for themselves a meaningful relationship, to derive
human significance from their interactions with others (the basis of Kristine's troubles). Ibsen’s
choice of title is both good and ironic; good because it brings thoughts to the perfect family-life, and
ironic because the play tells about how the inside of the house; the family, the marriage, the relations
etc., struggles with a lot of problems in contrast to the facade. All this endorses the notion that he is
by no means unintelligent. The protagonist Nora was no more a scapegoat or target for him, because

Nora is the female lead role in this play who is treated very child-like by her husband, Torvald. When
we meet them for the very first time, they are both surrounded by unfortunate circumstances. In the
beginning of the play, Nora accepts her doll-like existence, with no identity to call her own. Her
experience on the fringes has taught her that she must, if possible, live her life in society (more about
this point later). It is just a scene. Nora comes to a point in her life when she understands that she
lives an unreal life and she has to do something about it. Past connections with the man or even the
man's character and abilities are irrelevant (to say nothing of any sympathy with his situation): what
matters is that. The three children stand for happiness but Nora does not seem to have a close and
genuine relationship to them. According to the Britannica article on Henrik Ibsen, the “proper voice”
of the Norwegian playwright came with the writing of A Doll's house in 1879. Even a small part like
the nursemaid is tied in to the major theme of Nora’s maturity from child to child-wife to women.

all social expectations, we can be true to ourselves. They are revealed and explained in different ways
as the play progresses. The image she now reflects is that of the modern woman of today who likes
to live life on her own terms. Her circumstances and experiences had changed her outlook on life in
such a way that she refused to be a target of ridicule any longer. In this respect, an important
element in this play may well be the weather. Our customer service team will review your report and

and leave Torvald thinking she will be gone forever. The playwright and the poet have attempted to
express their thoughts and ideas through the eyes of society. At the conclusion of the play Nora is
somewhat of a much better person after opening up about what she hid and owning up to what
negative outcomes (Krogstad. Nora's final exit away from all her traditional social obligations is the
most famous dramatic statement in fictional depictions of this struggle, and it helped to turn Ibsen
(with or without his consent) into an applauded or vilified champion of women's rights and this play
into a vital statement which feminists have repeatedly invoked to further their cause. She doesn’t just
connect Nora to the past but indicates the future when Nora leaves her own children in the care of
another person. Nora probably had the thought that if she stuck around after doing what she did, she
could possibly repeat it all over again, and after realizing the sadness and pain she caused both her
husband and Krogstad, she couldn. The sympathies will almost certainly be distributed so that our
hearts are with Nora, however much we might carry some reservations about her leaving her children.
Excluded from meaning anything, Nora has never been subject, only object. (Templeton 142).
Furthermore, if we go to see a production of this play (at least among English-speaking theatre
companies), the chances are we will see something based more or less on this interpretative line:
heroic Nora fighting for her freedom against oppressive males and winning out in the end by her
courageous final departure. Everything in the house seemed to remind him of his dear wife and it
now becomes his turn to feel the same loneliness she had once felt. See other similar resources ?7.00
