You and Papa have done me a great wrong. It’s because of you I’ve made nothing of my life”(Ibsen). Nora has come to realize that her whole life spent pleasing her men, has stopped her maturation.

    In order to successfully borrow the money, Nora had to illegally sign for her father to receive the loan. Behind Torvald 's back, Nora forged the signature to ensure that the money would arrive before her husband became too ill. Mrs. Linde cautioned Nora that "a wife cannot borrow [money] without her husband 's consent" (Ibsen Act 1). Despite Nora being aware of this law, she pursued the illegal act anyway. This revealed that Nora was willing to anything out of the best interest for her husband. Nora reminds Mrs. Linde that it would be "painful and humiliating...if Torvald [knew] that he owed [her] anything. It would upset [their] mutual relations together" (Ibsen Act 1).  Nora 's main focus is to make sure her husband maintains his male dominance within their marriage.

  • A Doll's House Sacrifice Analysis

    2126 Words  | 5 Pages

    After asking his wife if she understands what she has done Nora answers “[Looking squarely at him, her face hardening] Yes. I am beginning to understand everything” (835). This statement might be the key phrase of Nora’s realization. The double- meaning implies Nora’s understanding of the actual situation as well as her awareness that her marriage, even though it conforms with social expectations, is far from perfect. She now doubts the depth of her love for Torvald and becomes calm with comprehension as she begins to recognize the truth about her marriage. While she expects compassion for her sacrifice, she is none given. Instead of sacrificing anything to help Nora out of her predicament, Torvald is only worried about himself and appearances. It becomes very clear, after the second letter from Krogstad arrives, that her well-being always comes second “I’m saved. Nora, I’m saved! You too, of course” (836). Throughout the conversation with Torvald, Nora finally realizes, she needs to rearrange her life and priorities to be happy. This implies independence and self-awareness. While Nora finally understands the situation, she is in and what she needs to do but Torvald defines her new attitudes as madness “You’re ill, Nora; you’re feverish; I almost think you’re out of your mind” (840). “However, the characterization has been tied to the fact that she is breaking taboos or challenging conventions” (Langås 160). Torvald is still stuck in his fantasy world of how a wife should talk and act per his standard and the society he stands for. “Nora still has no way of knowing that she is not endangering her children with her presence and in the end, she feels impelled to leave, and her decision is less an act of defiance against her husband and society than an attempt to save the lives of her children” (Brooks

As for Nora, we see in this first conversation that she seems entirely dependent on Torvald for her money, her food, and her shelter, despite the fact that she is keeping a secret. This secret is the kernel of her individuality and her escape from the doll’s house. While it is easy to paint Helmer as a tyrant and Nora as the naïve wife who suffers under his control, one must not forget that torvald is not aware of any damage he is causing. His greatest sin is perhaps his ignorance. The shock he shows at Nora’s revelation shows that he has no awareness that there is anything wrong with the status balance in his
