Torvald expresses his emotional and intellectual superiority and dominance over Nora, by calling her ‘little’ always. For him, she was always ‘a doll, a decorated piece of property’, which is also evident when Torvald trains and dresses Nora for ‘tarantella’. Ibsen metaphorically compares Nora’s life with the ‘Christmas Tree’, the tree and Nora have almost the same place in the house, and that is for decoration purpose, also in reality both are dying in the house. Though Nora projects unconditional love, Torvald takes refuge in pretences and hypocrisy for survival in society and at home. Nora, who appears as a child-like, silly woman, in reality, is much more, matured and intelligent, whereas Torvald, who appears to be strong and benign, in reality, is an egotistical man, who cares only about himself.

At this point, nothing else matters besides her intuitions and desires. This brings difficulty to her familiar relationships and friendships due to her rejection of living according to her role as a mother and a wife. Even though this conflict is addressed, it does not make an impact on her decision to remain a bit selfish through this time that she is finding herself. As a way of explaining her state of mind, Edna states that she "would give up the unessential; I would give my money, I would give my life for my children; but I wouldn't give myself. I can't make it more clear; it's only something which I am beginning to comprehend, which is revealing itself to me."

Everyday people are forced into situations without a choice. Whether these positions are small or life changing, individuals are given the option to find good or bad. In the novel Tending to Grace, Kimberly Newton Fusco writes about a young girl's journey into accepting the world around her in a seemingly horrible point in her life. The feeling of unimportance Cornelia is given after her mother leaves her allows her an unexpected sense of love, self confidence and voice showing good can always stem from the evil in life if one allows it. Through the bad Fusco shows that acceptance of oneself and the world around them can prevail.

At the beginning of the play, Nora did feel passionate and devoted towards Torvald. First, she had no idea that this love was not reciprocated. She didn’t think that her “husband” wouldn’t be grateful to her, although she has saved his life. When Torvald says, “Now you have wrecked all my happiness. You have ruined all my future.

The way Ibsen composed the way of character-painting, artistic handling of the situation never failed to cease me until the end of the play. Sometimes we have to do things in order to get an outcome for yourself and the others. This play is probably one of the great examples to support the fact. Nora realizes in the end that her husband was controlling her because of his prideful personality, and she felt as if she wasn’t herself the whole time they were being married. In the end, she experienced a recognition and decided to leave Torvald to find her self out on her

At the opening of the play, we find that she eats forbidden sweets behind her husbands back. This is not a huge offense, but it is an action that gives us insight into her deceptive nature.

She doesn 't see anything wrong with her perception and can often be found covering her deceit with phrases like, “You mustn 't say anything about it to anyone.

No money or material possessions will entice her, but that sure does not stop Gatsby from trying to win her over. The narrator, Nick Carraway reveals to the reader that Gatsby “hadn’t once ceased looking at Daisy, and I think he revalued everything in his house according to the measure of response it drew from her well-loved eyes.
