First, in the plot, reader can quickly see that it is built on economics. One gets this right away when it is revealed that Helmer, Nora's husband, has just become the new manager of a bank. Not only does his new position bring in financial security, but also the bank itself is a symbol of money or economy. As the story progresses, the reader slowly discovers the financial insecurity that the family had suffered in the past. Because of the hard times, Helmer was forced to find extra work and his many jobs caused him to become sick. It is based on this previous economic insecurity that Ibsen develops the plot. To save Helmer's life, Nora is forced to borrow money for a trip that he must take from an old acquainta

In conclusion, the characters of A Doll House, and the play itself, are greatly affected by money. Monetary conditions influence the plot of the play, the characters' manners and conduct, as well as shape the situations that the characters are in. Economic conditions is the central theme of the play and most aspects of the play revolve around it. Ibsen's play reflects the importance of money in people's everyday lives, and demonstrates what can happen if one's focus relies completely on wealth.

"You could give me money, Torvald. No more than you think you can spare; then one of these days I'll buy something with it" (1566). Nora also equates personal freedom with how wealthy she is. Since she does not work and does not make any money, she does not believe that she is "free" and allows Helmer to control her. Nora's psychological attitude is also affected by money. The reader can note how Nora's mood changes in relation to how much money she has. When Nora has money, it is evident that she is ecstatic and thinking of how to spend it. When she is lacking money, her character becomes depressed and upset. "Oh, Kristine, I feel so light and happy! Won't it be lovely to have stacks of money and not a care in the world?" (1569). In Helmer's case, he too is easily manipulated with money. The reader can see that Helmer acts more powerfully when he has more money. Helmer believes he is more powerful and is more important than others because he possesses more wealth. In this way, the fact that Helmer has money affects his relationship with his wife. Helmer treats Nora as if she were a child, some
