Analysis of a Doll’s House

Analysis of A Dolls mansion house by Henrick Ibsen Shira Simmons South University Online Kris Shelton March 12, 2013 A Dolls House has several high points that lead up to what Ive considered the most delineate moment. When Torvald finally reads the garner Krogstad (a fellow schoolmate and an employee at the bank) wrote revealing that it was not from Noras father that she borrowed money, but from him, what follows was totally unexpected by me. It seems that the website of her husband falling ill and the decisions she had to make in regards to that, forced her to grow.In the end, Nora makes a decision that she doesnt want to be married to her husband Torvald any(prenominal) longer, and she tells him so. The line, Weve been married for eight years. Doesnt it occur to you that this is the first succession the cardinal of us, you and I, husband and wife, have had a serious conversation? (Isben 1879 p. 590) says Nora, licks at where she is discharge with this conversation between the two of them. As you first read into the play, a perfect trophy wife scenario is portrayed. Its the typical male workings and the wife taking care of the kids and other affairs.The time this play was written, it was much common for the woman to stay household while the man worked. instantly it isnt rare to see the woman working and making more than the man. They are experiencing the normal money issues most married couples have and Torvald is expecting a higher salary after the New Year. As the other characters pay themselves, you start to pick up on some uneasiness from Nora whenever Krogstad visits their home and one instance from Mrs. Linde whenever she was present. One evening whilst Torvald was away, Krogstad visits and has a chat with Nora.He tells her that if she didnt convince Torvald to let him keep his job that he would blackmail Nora or so the money she borrowed from him and forging her fathers signature on the read for paying him back. Presenting that maybe t heir marriage isnt as perfect as it seems. Torvald had become ill and Nora being the caring, dedicated wife that she had taken it upon herself as her wifely duty to see to it that he got better. Nora had little to no association that forgery was a criminal offense she only thought she was doing what was trounce for her husband.So she told her husband that she borrowed money from her father. Mrs. Linde, an old friend of Noras visits as swell shes the only person Nora really has to confide in during the time this all-takes place. The plot reveals that she and Krogstad had a fling some years ago and flat that she was widowed, wanted to link back up with Krogstad once again. She convinces Krogstad that he must(prenominal) leave the letter for Torvald to read because Nora should no longer hold a secret betwixt her and her husband. I felt there was a surmise that Mrs.Linde didnt come to just meet back up with Krogstad, that she may have decided this in the mist of Nora and her situa tion, even though she states otherwise. peradventure she did so to help out Nora and Torvald by focusing Krogstads oversight elsewhere. Right after Torvald reads Krogstads letter, he immediately attacks Nora and belittles her. After aspect such degrading, hurtful things, Nora coldly looks at him and replies Yes, Im commencement exercise to understand e very(prenominal)thing now (Isben 1879 p. 590). This implies she has now realized exactly what she has been and how she has been treated by her father and him both.He raves on about what she has done to him and what he must do to fix it. Not once taking into account what Nora must be going through herself, or consequences she would have to endure? No, Id better read it again. Yes, its true Im relieve Nora, Im saved (Isben 1879 p. 590) exclaims Torvald after reading an apologetic letter from Krogstad and only after Nora saying something did he mention we were saved. During her farewell pardon, Nora sounds standardized a completel y different woman. She sounds strong, sure, independent and determined so very different from whom she was in the beginning.Although this situation basically ruined their marriage, it really caducous some light for Nora. She finally realizes that she has been robbed of so much, being both a prized possession of her father and Torvalds thats the beauty of it. Now she cannister set forth to learn and to be happy with herself. References Ibsen, H. (2011). A dames house. In D. L. Pike and A. M.
