Unjust In A Doll's House

Improved Essays
In the United States, there are many situations where males take advantage of their female partners. In the Book Doll's House Henrik Ibsen demonstrates many examples of how society is unjust to women and sometimes their counterparts. Henrik Ibsen depicts an image in our head that Nora's husband was unjust and that she deserved every right to leave. I certainly do not agree with Henrik Ibsen's depiction of the novel and the situation.Although Nora felt like she was married to a stranger, I do not feel that is was justified for her to leave her family because she has 3 children, Nora never gave Torvald a chance to redeem himself or improve, and she was not prepared to tackle being independent as women were treated lower than men, also because …show more content…
One of the reasons I believe that it was not okay for her to walk away from her marriage was because Nora had already given birth to 3 children, and leaving your children is never an option. She had no intention of speaking to the children about the future.
Henrik Ibsen also demonstrates that Nora did not really care about the views of the children. In the Novel A Doll's house, Henrik Ibsen states ““I don’t want to see the children. I know they are in better hands than mine” ( Ibsen 1124). This quote clearly shows that Nora has brought herself down and she doesn't really care about the children. Nora also shows that she doesn't give Torvald the opportunity to improve himself. Torvalds stated, “ I have the strength to change”(Ibsen 1124). What Torvald is basically trying to say is that he willing to change to keep her with him.
This is also showing that Torvald is trying to make a change to keep the family

    In this scene Torvald says to Nora “I shall not allow you to bring up the children; I dare not trust them to you” (Ibsen). By doing this Torvald was essentially putting him in the role of taking care of the children and he completely stripped his wife from her womanhood.

    During the time period of this play, it was seen as criminal for a wife to lie to her husband. Nora had led Torvald to believe that she got the money from her father but, in reality, she took the money from Krogstad by forging her signature. This is the same reason Torvald disliked Krogstad in the first place. Torvald then goes on to say that he can’t stand to be around people like that and that people like him corrupts the mind of his children. This is ironic since Nora is his wife and the mother of his children.…
