Recommended: Relationship of nora and torvald

Torvald brings the role of a “Neapolitan fish girl” upon Nora when he buys the dress for her to wear at the costume party. As one would put clothes on a doll, Torvald dresses Nora. When she removes this dress, she is shedding the trap of her doll-like existence. In act 3, Nora says “Our home has been nothing but a playroom. I have been your doll-wife, just as at home I was papa’s doll-child” In act 3, Nora says “Our home has been nothing but a playroom. I have been your doll-wife, just as at home I was papa’s doll-child” (3.43). Blatantly, this shows that Nora has gained some of her own independence and that she knows what is going on. Adding onto this, she is referred to, by Torvald, as different animal names. Throughout the play she

    The author clearly reveals the imbalance in power within the Helmer’s marriage. When Torvald addresses his wife, he continuously reinforces his dominance by calling her belittling pet names such as, “my little lark… my squirrel” (Ibsen 1190-1191). Only when Nora is being criticized does her husband address her by her name. Torvald condemns her for being wasteful with money, and connects it with the fact that she is a woman. Nora endures constant ridicule for her “feminine” acts of squandering money, “Nora, how like a woman… you little prodigal” (Ibsen 1191-1192). Throughout the play, Ibsen reiterates “little” to expose Torvalds’s repetitive disparaging of Nora’s character. But not only does Nora continue to allow the condescending treatment, she responds by acting helpless and in need of proper guidance. When discussing the responsibilities of women in the Victorian era, Hsin Ying Chi, English instructor at Troy State University, points out, “Her first duty is to be a submissive wife who loves and obeys her husband” (par. 27). In A Doll’s House, Nora represents the “traditional” subordinate house wife who solely exists to please her husband. She is shown to be oblivious to any outside issues, and it is apparent to the reader that Nora is completely dependent upon Torvald. Therefore, as a Victorian women, Nora must blindly follow her husband’s

  • "A Doll's House"

    696 Words  | 2 Pages

    Nora clearly represents the doll of the house and Torvald's dehumanization of her is flagrant throughout the story. He relentlessly refers to his wife through the use of pet names such as "my little skylark" and "my helpless little squirrel." In addition Torvald uses the possessive "my" often to reflect the notion that she belongs solely to him. She is his plaything, his toy, and his possession. Torvald even states to Nora that it was "quite expensive for him to keep such a pet." Once Torvald becomes aware of his wife's transgressions he reduces even her further calling her a miserable creature and a heedless child.

    Upon reading “A Doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen, many readers may find the character Nora to be a rather frivolous spending mother of three who is more concerned about putting up a front to make others think her life is perfect, rather than finding herself. At the beginning of the play, this may be true, but as the play unfolds, you see that Nora is not only trying to pay off a secret debt, but also a woman who is merely acting as her husbands “doll” fulfilling whatever he so asks of her. Nora is not only an independent woman who took a risk, but also a woman whose marriage was more along the lines of a father-child relationship.

    At the beginning of A Doll’s House, Nora Helmer seems stable in her marriage and the way that her life has panned out. She doesn’t seem to mind the her husband, Torvald, speaks to her, even if the audience can blatantly see that he is degrading her with the names he chooses to call her. “Hm, if only you knew what expenses we larks and squirrels have, Torvald” (Ibsen, 1192). Nora is notorious throughout Act I to play into the nicknames that Torvald calls her. She portrays that she is this doll-like creature that needs to be taken care of. Furthermore, we see that Nora is excited for her husband’s new job that will increase their income substantially. This is the first mask that the audience is presented with. As the play continues, Nora reveals yet another mask, this is a mask of a woman who so desperately wants to be taken seriously.

    828 Words  | 2 Pages

    In A Doll's House, Torvald Helmer's attitude toward his wife Nora can be seen in the ways in which he refers to her. In line 11 of the first act, we come across the first instance of Torvald's bird references to Nora with "Is that my little lark twittering out there?" This reference is the first of many in which Torvald refers to Nora as a lark. Often this referencing is preceded by diminutive terms such as "little" and "sweet, little." Torvald also refers to Nora as a squirrel, a spendthrift, a songbird, and a goose, these terms also preceded with a diminutive. The significance of this nicknaming is to show Torvald's attitude toward Nora. Torvald sees Nora as small, sweet, unobtrusive and therefore easily controlled. This position is one he would like Nora to continue to occupy. In line 257, Torvald refers to Nora as "my richest treasure" denoting his attitude toward her as his possession.

    For instance, Nora perceives Torvald's displays of demeaning and condescending attitude as a sign of fondness. Nora is naive enough to regard her pet names, such as "lark", "spendthrift", "obstinate little person" from Torvald as terms of endearment instead of terms to name her as the inferior. Nora is dependent on Torvald, she strives for his attention and love much like a child does to their parent. Torvald's and Nora's relationship more closely resembles a father/daughter relationship, rather than a husband/wife relationship. Nora aims "... to be able to keep the house beautifully and have everything just as Torvald likes it." To the audience it is known that Torvald is the superior but Nora is blissfully ignorant of this due to the fact

    In an antique doll's house the furniture, clothes, and companions were picked out according to the handler. The doll's movements were also controlled through the handler. The life that the doll lived was a result of the handler's imagination. There was no escape and Nora was no exception. Torvald, her husband, was her handler. He provided a home for her to reside in even though every detail of the house was his idea. Torvald controlled what she wore such as the costume for the Tarantella dance and what she ate like the macaroons. He often called Nora nicknames like “little squirrel (Ibsen 30)” “skylark (Ibsen 114) ” and/or “songbird (Ibsen 114)” indicating that Torvald did not see Nora as an individual. Instead, Torvald saw her as an object locked in a glass cage meant for everyone to admire but not to touch in fear that the beauty and value would be lost. In reality, the puppeteer was society itself controlling the dolls or rather women. It was society that defined how women acted publicly
