F bell "A Doll's House" Due Friday October 22

Henrik Ibson


A Doll's House, by Henrik Ibsen, shows the fragility of the Victorian convention of marriage as illustrated in the relationship between Nora and Torvald Helmer. Their marriage eventually fades away to nothing in the end when Nora feels compelled to leave the household to find her niche in the world. Refute or agree with the following statement:


In the beginning of the story, Nora is treated and acts like a child while her husband, Torvald, appears to be more mature and dominant in their relationship. By the end of the story, their relationship has changed and possibly been reversed, indicating that Nora may have matured and Torvald may have regressed to being a child. Provide specific textual evidence for each character's actions to support your claim.
