Nora
Nora Helmer has a seemingly ideal marriage. She is apparently happily married to Torvald, a lawyer who has just been made manager of the local savings bank. At one point in her marriage Nora forged her father's signature to obtain a loan in order to save her husband's life and resolve her family crisis. It is from lawyer Krogstad that she borrowed the money and he later attempts to threaten her. Nora is in despair but believes that her husband will take full responsibility for her actions if he learns the truth. However, instead of thanking her for helping to save his life, he accuses her of ruining him. Nora has begun to understand that her marriage is not what she thought it was. She tells him that he has treated her as a doll, something to be played with, having no life of its own. Having been a doll most of her life, she decides to go out into the world on her own to bring herself up and abandon her marriage and children.
