In A Doll's House, there is a theme of woman and man.
These two are distinct in this play. There is the role of the man and role of the woman.
The woman does her best to please her man. She gets her self worth out his possessive
needs. Nora does everything she can to please Torvald. She plays along with his
nicknames for her. She dances for him. She buys things such as fine wines to assure they
are in a upper class setting. She sacrifices her own happiness for the man she
loves.
On the other hand, Torvald thinks he is the sole is
the provider. He is unappreciative of Nora's sacrifices. He keeps her barefoot and
pregnant where he thinks she belongs. He is unwilling to sacrifice his reputation for
the woman he loves. He is only concerned with appearances and is quite happy trying to
keep up with the Jones.
In A Doll's House, there is woman
and man. These two are not as one, as should be husband and wife. These two live
separate lives in terms of affection. Nora tries to play Torvald's games, but she
eventually tires. When she walks out on him, he regrets not keeping her by his side as
his beloved wife.
