Marriage tourbles/ A dolls house

            
             When people build marriages and livelihoods on truth and understanding it a beautiful thing, but what happens when life never existed in these so called "love endeavors". The relationship between Torvald and Nora Helmer was of this creed and was doomed to fail from the beginning. Though this failure was not truly their fault because society had played its fickle hand in there lives, it taught Torvald that he had to treat women like objects and it told Nora she had to act below him. Nora left him because he treated her with no respect, she had experienced true affection from her friend Dr. Rank, and because she was not viewed as an equal in the eyes of men.
             Torvald Helmer was a victim of the society in which he lived, he did not understand that women and men are of equal status, this was to a large extent because of culture, but there were more motives hidden within. Torvald's lack of respect was one of the contributing factors as to why Nora left, he stated "Is that my little squirrel running around," as a perfectly normal incident not giving her the rightful respect that she deserved by simply being alive. When human beings are oppressed by another they tend to die spiritually, which is why Nora slowly began to move away from him. When Torvald found out about the money Nora had been borrowing to save him he treated her with even less respect by saying " you made me look bad in front of my peers" instead of thanking her. He seems to think she is less than human and her opinion is not worth validating, so she simply retaliated as any human being would, by defying the relationship and becoming a separate entity. This is a common theme throughout history, for example in the American Revolution people rose up against the tyrannical monarchists, which is similar to Nora"s situation.
             When Nora was able to glean affection from Dr. Rank she realized how inadequate and obtuse Torvald actually was.
