When you read this play you see that Torvald is not the nicest with his words. He kind of puts Nora down. You can definitely see that Nora is taking advantage of Torvald getting a new job. The first thing she thinks to do is go shopping which is kind of selfish. Torvald seems like a reality type of person he tried to open her eyes when she e home from shopping. He tells her that she is moving fast because he wasn’t even sure he got it yet and if he didn’t that she would have to return all the stuff she bought. You can compare that to women today. Most women when they find out that their husbands got a promotion or a new job that pays more. They are quick to go shopping and buy meaningless things. What they should do is try and budget their money and maybe pay off some stuff or start to save up for a rainy day, but none ever thinks of that. Later on in the play you find out that Nora borrowed money from someone but she will not tell who it is. Nora tells her friend Christine that she borrowed money in the early year of their marriage because Torvald got sick and the doctor told them to go south with warmer climate. She took it as if he didn’t go on this vacation he would die or something crazy. She didn’t know how to use her brain because all she needed to do was give him the house to himself a couple of day, and don’t annoy him and he would have been just fine. Instead she took him all the way to Italy. Its really funny because in the end of the plat when Torvald gets mad her about them getting blackmailed she sees him as a coward. She tells him that she is leaving him, because they've never had a real marriage. She's never been more than a doll in his eyes. He begs her to stay, but she refuses, leaving both him and the kids, with the slamming of a door. That’s one hell of an ending.
