B1In the story A Doll's House, Henrik Ibsen returns to one of his most vital ideas: the social misunderstanding/lie of a woman's duty. Nora Helmer is a devoted wife to her husband and children. She also goes out of her way to try to help her husband Torvald Helmer in any way she can. However, once Krogstad (a bank teller who Nora is in debt to) enters the scene, he causes some major conflicts between Nora and Torvald. From this major conflict, it is shown that throughout the story Nora has been trapped by the conventions and mentality of her society. Throughout the novel it is repeatedly shown that Nora does not have financial freedom. For example, when the time comes that Torvald needs an operation for an illness he has fallen ill with, since Nora has no hidden stash of cash to turn to in case of “rainy days” like this, she must sign a loan if she hopes to save her husband. However, since Nora is a woman, she cannot sign a loan without a man accompanying her. This being the case, Nora is driven to carry out illegal activities such as forging signatures on a loan. Whether it's an extreme situation like needing money to move her husband to another area so he can get better medical care or as small as buying her favorite candy from the store, she constantly needs someone who is financially secure to buy these things for her. Furthermore, another important factor that prevents Nora from having financial freedom is the fact that she has no work skills. “Employability skills are general skills needed to get most jobs, but they also help you stay in a job and get to the top.” Since Nora has no experience in what/how to do a particular job, it would not be... middle of paper... Nora has found her own religion at the beginning of the novel, it is likely that most of the problems presented will not would have occurred. Furthermore, if Nora had a relationship with a higher power, a sense of faith would most likely have been instilled in her as well. From this faith, she may have the power to believe in herself more than she believes in others. After believing in a higher power, Nora may then begin to restructure her life. From this, an important starting point would be its values. Nora should have understood what and who should be considered important and unimportant in her life. After considering the changes in her values, Nora should then move on to rebuilding her understanding of finance. How long it would take to pay off some things, how much they would cost her in the end, and whether or not she could afford the service/item.
