Marriage

Marriage 

In A Doll's House the marriage of Nora and Torvald is on many levels unsuccessful. Maybe at one time Nora and Torvald did love each other but when we meet them their marriage is falling apart. Maybe they got married for the wrong reasons or maybe over time their love dwindled.[|Bad reasons for marriage] But when we meet them their marriage is falling apart. They begin to keep secrets from each other. Nora is afraid to tell Torvald of the loan she took out to save his life. Torvald treats Nora like a doll and Nora at the end of the play finally realizes it. She finally decides that the best choice for them would be for her to leave until she can get things straight. She doesn't even care that she will be leaving her children without a mother because she thinks that she is a bad influence on them. Many marriages are successful and can last a long time but some like Nora and Torvald's don't last.
