A Doll's House By Henrik Ibsen

Would you leave someone that you loved, if they play with you like a doll? Nora had lots of complication when she was leaving with her husband. A Doll’s House is a play by Henrik Ibsen, in that, Nora has a lot of issues with her husband Torvald. Nora left Torvald because he always called her by names like squirrel, my lark, spendthrift, and much more. She also realized that he was selfish and cared about himself all this time. Nora leaving her husband and children was an acceptable choice because in Early-Victorian age, woman had no respect but Nora wanted to gain respect from others and learn more about herself.
Nora spends lots of money on useless things and does not listen to her husband. Torvald always gave order to Nora, Torvald said, “Don’t disturb me. “Brought,” did you say? What! All that? Has my little spendthrift been making the money fly again”(Ibsen 138)? Torvald always thought that he was the man of the house so when he found out that Nora started to spend money on useless things, he gave orders to Nora without any respect. Torvald did not care about her except that she was spending his money on things
Torvald changed his mood as soon as he read the second letter, “Nora. Nora! I must read it again. Yes, yes, it is so. I am saved! Nora, I am saved! ... You too, of course; we are both saved, both of us”(Ibsen 201). He was so excited that he had to yell out, “I am saved”. When Nora asked him “what about me”, he is like ehh you too, that is when Nora realized, Torvald only cared about himself all this time. She never got any respect from Torvald, also she found out that he was selfish. Torvald always settled her according to his taste and she thought she was living like a beggar and by performing tricks for him. He always treated her like a doll just like her father did before when she was passed
