Describe the relationship of Nora and Torvald Helmer and the benefits they receive from each other
Although the marriage of Nora and Torvald Helmer appears typical for the common relationship expected in this time period, it’s obvious that as you dive deeper into the story you can realize that everything is not as it seems. On a surface level most everyone can perceive the benefits being gained from both sides of the relationship. As the play carries on and you start to gain a profounder connection to the characters, you will begin to unravel the twisted marriage of the Helmers.
Nora Helmer is a prime, striking young lady that any man would be fortunate to possess. Although she does arise with some faults, her appearance and willingness can gain anyone social dominance. Though her attitude is generally soft and not spoken, she does acquire some benefits for herself. Taken at a young age and never really taught the world’s ways, Nora is a bit undeveloped. Always being able to rely on a superior control, she has had an easy life. Being able to live off of things that come naturally, Nora has a full ride. She has a man to provide for her and protect her just like her father use to. Because of Nora’s appearance, she has been able to accompany and aid her husband’s voyage to the top of the social ladder. She has gained a personal nanny who essentially lives half of her live. She takes care of the children, cleans up and around the house, even cooks for the family. This profit would undeniably never been in Nora’s options if she had never married such a powerful man. Alongside her husband, Nora also rose to some degree of social dominance, being looked up on and respected because of who she is married to. Which of course is just one of the many benefits of being married to Torvald Helmer.
Aside from the obvious benefits gained from Nora Helmer such as social dominance, Torvald also receives many profits from the marriage. Torvald is a powerful man
