A Doll's House

 

            In A Doll's House Nora and Torvald Helmer were married for many years.
             were married for many years at the end of the story they break up. I believe that the break.
             up was mostly caused by Torvald. .
             I believe this first of all because after Nora talked to Krogstad and he told her to.
             convince Torvald not to fire him there was a part where Nora almost won Torvald over. .
             Torvald then changed his mind, he says "It's already known down at the bank that I"m.
             going to give Krogstad his notice. If it ever got around that the new manager had been.
             talked over by his wife.", (Ibsen 754). This shows that Torvald does not really care.
             about what Nora is saying, all he is concerned about is making himself look bad. John.
             Gottman says "What characterizes the marriages of stable and happy couples? It is a.
             husband's ability to accept influence from his wife. marriages will work to the extent that.
             men do this", (Secret 1). Obviously Torvald does not demonstrate this.
             Second, when Krogstad did mail the letter and Helmer read it he went crazy. He.
             started yelling and told Nora that she could live there so it would seem as if they were still.
             married, but she could not even see her children. Then as soon as he found out that.
             Krogstad had taken the debt back, Torvald went back to normal and everything was the.
             way it was before. .
             When you get married it is not about yourself anymore, you and your spouse are.
             one. This clearly shows that Torvald does not understand this concept and chooses not.
             to comply with it. Nora is the opposite. When she found out that Torvald was sick she.
             did everything that she could to make him better, even though she had to make some.
             major sacrifices. According to John Gottman a strength in marriage is taking the other's.
             problems and making them your own. .
             "At the heart of my program is the simple truth that happy marriages are based on.
             deep friendship. By this I mean a mutual respect for each other's company.
