A Dolls House: Noras Case...its her duty to take good care of her children. But her step to abandon her children should be judged keeping in mind the background circumstances, the childhood she spent, and the recent trauma she faced. This decision, leaving her home forever, can be justified for a woman who, after life-long suppression and lack of self recognition, suddenly acknowledges her identity. This act of her is a try to save her children from accepting influence of dual nature of society and to save them from building up a complex personality that society presents a child with.

This, especially, exposes in the tradition of marriage whereby the satisfaction of a man supersedes the fulfillment of a woman’s intrinsic needs. In a feminine analysis of this book, it is notable that Ibsen exposes the...
