An analysis of the morality of Nora Helmer’s abandonment of her children, from “A Doll’s House,” By Henrick Ibsen.

Lastly I would like to recognize one of the important points of the this play, and bring up what I know to be two very famous and reused lines:

HELMER. …What duties could those be?
NORA. Duties to myself.
HELMER. Before all else, you are a wife and a mother.
NORA. … Before all else I am a reasonable human being…

    Clearly considering everything Nora Hemler and her family had to go through and according to every piece of evidence that has been presented thus far, she had every right and virtue to leave her children behind. It was for the best; they were in good hands. Although they would grow up with no mother, they would learn from the message Nora left after her. This mother knew what she was doing, had a plan and executed it exactly as it should have been.
