A Doll's House
The title of the play, "A Doll's House", is directly based on how Nora, the main character, is treated and how she behaves throughout the entire play. The title reflects on Nora's life, and what she has faced her entire life. She is basically treated like a "doll", her whole life. She feels very much like a "doll", and she feels trapped in the world, which she would refer to as a "dollhouse", thus giving the title of the play, "A Doll's House". A doll has many resemblances to a child. A child loves and cares for a doll, much like a parent loves and cares for their child. A child is trapped inside the house he or she lives in, while a doll is trapped in her own little world that occurs within her dollhouse. Nora has been childish ever since the play has started. She has the mind of child, and therefore acts like a child. "(Puts the bag of macaroons into pocket and wipes her mouth)" (Nora: Page 4) Like most children, she has a huge craving for sweets, and she does not like to get into trouble. Here she is trying to hide some of candy, from her husband, just like what a child would do to avoid the troubles that were involved. This shows that she does not have a lot of power in the marri
These roles that the characters portrays are immensely evolving as the plays continues. Her best friend, Christine Linde, is one of the few people in which Nora can have an intellectual, serious, or true conversation with. Nora and Christine have been friends for a number of years, and due to that, they developed a close relationship. Their conversations are sincere and truthful. Their relationship would be considered "true". so silly as you think. We have not been in a position for me to waste money. We have both had to Christine though Nora was still the same as she was back during her schooldays. Nora replies with: Her father and her husband didn't let Nora's mind evolve into a more mature mind, therefore she is somewhat trapped with the mind of a child. Torvald is the only character that has the biggest impact on Nora. Torvald is controlling on how the roles are supposed to be played. Torvald treats Nora as a prized possession, rather than his partner and companion. This is similar to the way a child would treat a doll.
