Acceptance
In the ending of the play, "A Doll House", Nora walks out on her family after realizing that she is her husband's doll', and that does not really know who herself. The play was written in 1879, and at that time for Nora to walk out on her family for any reason took a lot of strength. In modern day the ending was happy, because it showed the love for her children, and the love between Helmer and Nora.
The ending for "A Doll House" was very well thought out by Ibsen. At first it is thought to be ending especially when we remember that the children are being abandoned too. But after one read the story and thinks back to when Nora did not even take care of the children. When Nora was speaking to the nanny it we knew that Nora did not take of the children, the nanny said, "The children are begging so hard to come in to Mama." Nora replied, "No, no, no, don't let them in to me!"(1149) A mother that has no real emotional attachment with her children would have no problem leaving them, so the ending was good for even the children.
Also Nora leaving was also good for Helmer he did not know it at the time. Because Nora tells Helmer that she does not love him anymore. Helmer says, "you no longer love me."(1176) Nora says, "no that's exactly it" (1176). No man would like to be with anyone that does not love them. It is just that Helmer is starting to feel a sense of loss. Also Helmer was not in love with Nora, "You never loved me. You're thought it fun to be in love with me, that's all." (1174) Helmer was just in love with the character of Nora, and that all came out when Helmer received the letter indicating that Nora had forged the loan papers. "Now you're wrecked all my happiness- ruined my whole future. Oh it is awful to think of. I'm in a cheap little grafter's hands; he can do anything he wants with me, ask for anything play, with me like a puppet-and I can't breathe a word. I'll be swept down miserably into the depths on accounts of a...
