The “Doll's House” is a dramatic work that brings readers the typical events that happen in marriages. At first Nora, the protagonist of the play and a typical housewife, believes that real marriage is based on obedience. She exemplified the act of being good to her parents as a daughter, obedient as a wife, and responsible as a mother. Torvald, Nora's husband, is a very successful man and also projects on the act of being manipulative. As the head of the family he is dominant and controlling and displays these characteristics at every opportunity. According to Torvald, to have a true marriage, a husband should be the role model of his wife and head of the family as evident from the named dramatic piece, Nora is the doll in the house; “Doll House”. The central theme of the play is the idea that Nora is the toy doll owned by Torvald. This theme is repeated in words and actions that courageously represent manipulation and domination as opposed to obedience, adaptation and respect. Nora believes in self-fulfillment and always wants what there is to take, but is never interested in giving anything unless it is obligatory. Nora is the lady who sits and waits to be fed by someone else. No matter what the circumstances, she inevitably digests all the venom and bitterness that Torvald and the other characters shove down her throat. His love of money is anything but normal; he asks for as much money as Torvald earns. He always gives her everything she wants, which explains why he never feels the need to change. All that Nora is, is not her to blame, but Torvald. He made her who she is by being supportive and in accordance with her personal status. Unlike what happens later in the play, Nora says... in the center of the card... that the only dolls that should ever be in a house are children and pets. With all that knowledge Nora gained she separates from Torvald. Torvald on the other hand, after begging Nora to stay with him, becomes saddened by his only worries; his career and outdoor reputation that help him understand that they were the masters of incompatibility. This makes the separation the end of the drama and tells him that marriage is equality and far more important than a successful career and the best reputation he could ever have. As for Kristine and Krogstad, separation eventually brings about unity and their marriage matures and succumbs to the effects of time. They lose their spouse, depend on each other for survival, and are pieces of each other. True marriage in this sense is now based on extreme sacrifice and responsibility. Works CitedBook, web
