A Doll's House: Act III

Torvald looks like a very selfish man. When he read the letter he was quick to blame Nora and not look at the reason why she committed that "crime". Nora's finally owned up to not being as stupid as her husband and father thought. But Torvald responds like the typical male "Why can't you understand your place in your own home?" (1169). It's ironic that he calls it her "own" home when he is used to her taking on the typical feminine role of being dominated by a man and taking care of the house and children. The ending was very unexpected and I wish we could find out what happens to Nora next. Would she succeed in her quest to educate herself since it's not what women at that time are doing?
