In Ibsen’s A Doll House at the end of the play Nora leaves Torvald saying that the most wonderful thing of all would be to have a real marriage and after she leaves a hope flashes across his mind and he says “the most wonderful thing of all?” In your opinion what do you think will happen next? Will Torvald want Nora back will she accept him? This is not a homework question I just want to know your opinions. Thanks.

I have always thought that what happened next was that Nora went on to have a wonderful happy life all by herself. I would like to believe that she "finds" herself and finds her own happiness. I was widowed at 47 - I really didnt have any choice as to whether or not I went out on my own -- I just had to do it. And Nora has always been one of my heros.

With heavy heart, I must agree with the first two answerers. Award them the points. As I read Torvald's line, it seems more to reflect the same empty-headed approach that he has always had to their relationship. What has always disturbed me was Nora's willingness to abandon the children. Did the business of Torvald and the moneylender (I forget his name) so disgust her that she would jettison the children to be rid of that?

I agree with the other person....I always thought she went out and found herself....Her husband probably did come crawling back but I think she had the strength to say "no"
