Linde had been forced by circumstances to marry a man of wealth whom she did not love ,she had
found it necessary to marry him for her mother that had been bed-ridden and she had two younger
brothers also to look after .however, her husband died soon afterwards ,and his business too had gone to pieces after his death.

Nora's past life had not been very conformable hobby
either,8 years ago her husband had fallen critically ill and she had been forced to borrow money without telling him.
so. they both Lande and Nora didn't had a good life in their marriage with all of these struggle

2

she had been guilty of forgery which is a criminal act.

3

In her opening yes because she want to help his Husband but the law fakes no account of motives
and that a crime remains a crime no matter what the motive behind it.

The most important theme, of course, is the liberation of the individual from the shackles
and restraints of custom-and convention. More emphatically, the theme is the assertion of her
rights by a wife. Nora who has remained passive
and self-effacing for eight years ultimately asserts herself and becomes an individual in her own right.

Ibsen called his play a modern tragedy,and a modern tragedy it surely is. It is a tragedy
because it has a sad ending,with Nora leaving not only her home and her husband but even her children, in order
to face an uncertain future. It is a tragedy because it depicts the break-up of a family
and the disintegration of the domestic life of a couple.It is modern because it departs from the old style of writing tragedies.

Helmer say that not only had Krogstad committed an offence but that he had escaped
the punishment for that offence by means of a cunning trick.
It was the use of this trickery which showed Krogstad to be a morally depraved person.
Helmer then goes on to express his views about the evil effect which such a man would be exercising
upon his family. If a man has a crime on his conscience, he would always be telling lies and putting on false appearances
.Such a man would spread disease and infection all over his household.
Such a man would be an evil influence on his children because the house of such a man
would be full of evil germs.
Helmer says that he finds it impossible to work with a man like Krogstad and that he would feel literally sick in that man's presence
Krogstad has made a nuisance of himself to him at the bank in
another way. He and Krogstad had been intimate
friends at school, and Krogstad now embarrasses him by speaking to him always in a familiar manner
he has a tendency to speak to him like an equal, addressing him by his Christian name and trying to show that he is intimate with him

The date on which her father was supposed to have signed the
bond as surety for her was the 2nd October, but her father had died four
days earlier, on the 29th September. How could a dead man
have signed the document? asks Krogstnd He then says that the obvious explanation
for this disparity is that she herself had signed for her father.

He now tells Nora that, after having suffered the loss of his reputation by his criminal
act of forgery, he had now decided to lead an upright life in order to re-establish his good
reputation but that her husband was now bent upon dismissing him and thus ruining his plan to reform himself

When Torvald eventually indicates that he will not shoulder the blame for Nora
, Nora’s faith in him is shattered. Once the illusion of Torvald’s nobility is crushed, Nora’s other illusions about her married life are crushed as well, and her disappointment with Torvald triggers her awakening

10

He tells her that the crisis with which he was faced is over and that they have now nothing to worry about. He tells her that he forgives her for whatever she had done and that he will again love her, protect her, and guide her through life just as he had been doing before and now she is his property in a double sense because he has given her a new life by having forgiven her. He goes on to say that she has now become both his wife and his child. In other words, he will love her as his wife and he will protect her as if she were his child
Helmer s reaction to this second letter from Krogstad shows that Helmer has relapsed into his former self-complacency and has once again assumed the role of the"possessor" of his wife. Krogstad's second letter has made Helmer forget all those offensive remarks which he had made to Nora only a little while ago as a consequence of the first letter

In A Doll’s House, Ibsen paints a bleak picture of the sacrificial role held by women of all economic classes in his society. In general, the play’s female characters exemplify Nora’ assertion (spoken to Torvald in Act Three) that even though men refuse to sacrifice their integrity, “hundreds of thousands of women have

In order to support her mother and two brothers, Mrs. Linde found it necessary to abandon Krogstad, her true—but penniless—love, and marry a richer man

Though Nora is economically advantaged in comparison to the play’s other female characters, she nevertheless leads a difficult life because society dictates that Torvald be the marriage’s dominant partner. Torvald issues decrees and condescends to Nora, and Nora must hide her loan from him because she knows Torvald could never accept the idea that his wife (or any other woman) had helped save his life

Furthermore, she must work in secret to pay off her loan because it is illegal for a woman to obtain a loan without her husband’s permission. By motivating Nora’s deception, the attitudes of Torvald—and society—leave Nora vulnerable to Krogstad’s blackmail
Nora’s abandonment of her children can also be interpreted as an act of self- sacrifice. Despite Nora’s great love for her children—manifested by her interaction with them and her great fear of corrupting them—she chooses to leave them. Nora truly believes that the nanny will be a better mother and that leaving her children is in their best interest

To slam the door means to encourage the conscious women that women should partake of active revolt against male dictatorship. The actual significance of the slamming of the door lies in the presentation of the fact that even such an" ignorant and submissive wife Nora go to the violent level of launching an active revolt against male domination and dictatorship. Its metaphoric significance emerges from the fact that the slamming of the door stands for the optimistic emergence of a new revolution that is called feminism

?If you were Nora, would you take the same decision of leaving her children
