Is Nora justified in leaving both her husband and her children? When looking through an interpretive lens, Nora would never develop as an individual while being with her husband. The demeaning treatment Nora received by the husband, while lovingly, yet consistently, he refers to Nora by pet names, blocks Nora from taking any responsibilities in their house beyond dealing with the kids, Nora is basically treated like a child by her husband, and the husband expects Nora to agree with him on every important matter to the point where his points are Nora’s opinions.
