    almost contemporary. In Act I‚ there are many clues that hint at the kind of marriage Nora and Torvald have. It seems that Nora is a doll controlled by Torvald. She relies on him for everything‚ from movements to thoughts‚ much like a puppet who is dependent on its puppet master for all of its actions. The most obvious example of Torvald’s physical control over Nora is his reteaching her the tarantella. Nora pretends that she needs Torvald to teach her every move in order to relearn the dance

Author Henrick8u Ibsen argued was‚ “a woman could not be herself in modern
