Document Summary
While women are able to work in various capacities, it is still believed that their husbands should have control over their finances, correspondence, etc. Society delights in frivolous women rather than practical ones. Men earn money, and handle money, and are supposed to be in complete charge of their finances and their household, apparently. We will probably focus on nora for our analysis, though as a secondary character we should focus on mrs. linde because she also has an epiphany, like nora. Characterization will be examined more in exploration of the theme. Also, we could examine what part dr. rank plays, because it seemed kind of obscure. The play revolves around nora, her past and present life, and her struggle to keep her husband from finding out about the past. When he does find out, however, his reactions spur her not to reconcile with him, but to move on.
