In the 19th Century, people were defined by their ability to control their money. Like Torvald, he was a banker and a lawyer who determined how money was spent at that time. Morals by a person’s ability to manage money. In “Doll House by Henrik Ibsen”, Torvald gets a good position at the bank and he is the one who could decide who would get the job between Mrs. Linde and Krogstad.
In the relationship between Nora and Torvald, Money came first and was the main topic in the story. Nora knows that if she acts in a certain way; she will get more money from Torvald. Nora “puts a bag of macaroons into her pocket and wipes her mouth” (828) come here Torvald. Later, Nora uses the same method on Dr. Rank and her behavior shows how women in today’s society offer this behavior favor in return for money, but he thought that “I cannot imagine for a moment what would have become of me if I had never come into this house” (860) Torvald shows that whoever will control money he will be in charge of the relationship and show how he dominates around her. He was teasing her about being a spendthrift when he says “All these things? Has my little spendthrift been wasting money again” (828)?
Additionally, from the theme of money and reputation, the message that comes out is that the freedom of women has been suppressed by the expectations set by society because women were expected to take care of the house, cook, clean, raise children, and look after their husbands. Nora adhered to these expectations by taking good care of her husband, as seen when she danced the tarantella for him. There was a belief that going in with her as long as there was enough money and a good reputation marriage life would be happy and prosperous. But this is not true Because there is an evident dissatisfaction when she has an affair with Dr. Rank. Doll’s House is a house of false values, behind which are hidden egoism, spiritual emptiness, and disunity of human souls.
People do not live in this house but only play in love, marriage, family consent, and even in human dignity and honor. Ibsen masterfully shows conflicts that only occur in the soul of the characters. For Example, Nora lives in an imaginary world, then an accommodating, perception of herself as a human being, striving for inner changes. Krogstad; moral decline love awakening of conscience- the desire to become human again. Helmer; 's thoughts and actions are a moral test of betrayal of love and family. With the help of the motive of money, the difficult-to-tense collision between the actors is revealed, which reveals different moral positions about family, life, and other people. The family conflict between Nora and Torvalds reveals the shortcomings of people and society.
Dignity is measured not only by social laws but above all by moral laws. Ibsen uses the forms of monologue and dialogue, and successfully builds a composition, which makes it possible to brighten and reveal the dramatic conflict. The language of the plays is a conversational style, lively, accessible, but not simplified, saturated with bright artistic means that help the author convey the diversity and affectation of human experiences. The denouement is not the unleashing of problems, but only their statement, the conflict is not exhausted after the completion of the action but is becoming more and more acute.
