Divorce has become widely accepted throughout the world. In today's world, the violent shredding of a family is shrugged off like the daily weather. The play A Doll's House, by Henrik Ibsen, is a prime example of a marriage that didn't work. The marriage of Torvald and Nora Helmer had many problems because the husband and wife couldn't discover the secrets of marital bliss. To keep a marriage alive and growing it must hold true to four qualities: love, communication, trust and loyalty, and perseverance. With the incorporation of these qualities any marriage would work.
Trovald and Nora’s marriage seemed to be centered around love. When you’re in a relationship you need to have both love and friendship which was clear they did not have. Trovald in no way loved Nora, he treated her like a possession, something he needed to tend to.

The children are her dolls this is probably the only thing she has control over.

In the end Trovald finds out about everything but since Mr. Krogstad sent a letter telling him no one would find out about the IOU or anything else his anger was lessened. You see Trovald was only worried about his reputation he didn’t want anyone to think his wife had deceived him in anyway. He even states that “no man sacrifices his honor and pride for love”. This extreme and unbalanced behavior definitely hurt the relationship but it wasn’t the only factor that contributed to the break down of their relationship.

I don’t know if I agree with the ending of the story. Nora ends up leaving her husband and children so she can find some purpose in her own life. I could see leaving your husband but not your children. I don’t know how it would effect them back in those days but now a days children are scared for life if a p
