    He sees her as nonthreatening and too naïve to handle real world issues. For example, Torvald uses phrases such as “The child should have her way,” (49) in order to demean her and to make her ideas seem unimportant. Torvald’s passive way of viewing Nora can relate to the fact that society treats the issue of gender inequality as something that can be put aside and solved later. However, just as children need to be taken care of, so do these issues. In many cases, Torvald brushes off Nora’s opinions by calling her hysterical whenever she tries to stand up for herself or provide any input.…

    First, the most obvious point to prove that Torvald is motivated to control Nora for the sake of his reputation is the way that he treats her.

He likes to dress her up to suit his fantasies towards her. One example of this is when he has her dress up as a Capri fisher girl and dance the Tarantella to arouse him.…

    Part 3: Men like Torvald in the 19th century weren’t subject to the same gender roles as women. They weren’t under the expectation that they would be pure, childish beings whose role was relegated to the household. Still, they had their own defined gender roles in society and marriage that were just as strict. These roles affected Torvald in a negative way as well, though the results of these negative effects were not the same as the results produced in Nora. Aside from being condescending to his wife, Torvald has other flaws connected to the society he grew up in.…
