Answer 1

I'd like to help, but I have no clue what play you are talking about...

Answer 2

Nora realizes that, since she was a child, she has basically been under the absolute control of two men: first her father, and then her husband, Torvald. Whatever else she has accomplished, she knows that she first has to be fully indenpendent in order to live a meaningful life. Despite the enormous societal pressures on her to remain in an unfulfilled marriage, she HAS to leave.

Answer 3

The really interesting thing about Nora is that in stepping out of Torvald's house, she has also stepped irrevocably out of her position in society. This of course poses a lot of questions that begin to encompass other social issues such as Women's Suffrage and other Civil Rights matters. I like to believe that Nora will somehow go out and make a life for herself, albeit a difficult one. Her choices really are fairly grim if you consider the social climate of that particular time period.
