A DollHouse is a play about a married couple named Nora and Torvald Helmer. In the beginning of the play Nora and Torvald seem to be a normal couple who love each other. As the play continues, information begins to unravel about their history. Torvald became very sick a few years ago and the doctor said the only thing that would cure him was a trip to the south. The only problem with that was Nora and Torvald did not have the money to fund a whole year in Italy. Behind Torvald’s back Nora borrowed the money from a man to fund the expensive trip.

Nora did this fully believing that Torvald would do this in return for her, if there ever came a day he needed to do so.

Without even realizing it, Nora was evolving and wanting her independence from Torvald and the mess she had gotten both of them into (Goonetilleke, D.C.R.A). As Nora evolved she also came to the realization that she was never an equal partner in this marriage (drama for students). By the end of the drama she decides to leave Torvald and her children in order to find herself as not only a wife, but as a mother.
Nora Helmer evolved a lot during the course of A Doll House. She went from being a typical middle class wife, to someone who would stand up for herself. She learned that she did not need her husband to get anywhere in life. While she did a lot of things to mess up her marriage and put her life in shambles, I feel sorry for her. She always did everything to make sure her husband was happy. Nora Helmer was the doll in A Doll
