A Doll House

At the start of this Play you see Nora who is a complete loving wife and mother asking her husband for money.  In order to get the money she has to ask like a Sequel. I’m sorry a sequel if my husband wanted me to ask like a sequel or anything else if I need money to purchase something.  you know,  why don’t you finish the shopping for the children and During the time that you are out go and pick up the stuff we need for the house and do all the house work while you’re at it because I am going out and working for my own money. The husband also gets frustrated with her because she is eating macaroons. The husband then tells her “has the little spendthrift been out throwing money around again” (859). I’m sure he eats sweets, I mean you have to have a little sweets now and it’s not throwing money away if you enjoy it. As you read the play who would think that they have a great marriage and that they would do anything for one another in fact Nora has done something that she knows her husband would disagree with. A few years before her husband was making money he was sick and would have “never have lived if he hadn’t gone south”(866). So she had to borrow “four thousand, eight hundred pounds”(866). To take him to Italy to save his life. The wife never told him she borrowed the money because her husband would have had gotten so angry. At the end of the play he does find out she barrowed money. After seeing his bad side and knowing that he would not to anything for her she leaves him. I would leave him too because If I risk everything for a man I love and he would not even stand up for me when I need him most I would leave but I would still want to take care of my children.
