Doll house Act 1

I think the play has a twist to it and the spotlight is put on money even the couple seems to be wealthy because they have a maid and can fix their finical problems so easy. In the poem although the family has money the husband seems to want to spend it wisely unlike his wife who just wants to spend  because she has the money too.

 I also believe both characters are trying to portray what it is a woman represents to a man and vise versa. I believe the male character is playing a dominant possessive role like what is excepted of a man. The wife which is only called by her name when her husband is scolding her, is treated like a little girl in a sense
