Act III

Nora's decision to become independent seemed like the way Mrs. Linde had been living. She was giving up her marriage and wants to leave her children behind is kind of a selfish move by a mother. Mrs. Linde was going to take care of the man she loved and his children while Nora was taken her old role of being independent/alone. I believe that Mrs. Linde doing this would later prove to Nora that leaving her family during that time period would be a mistake.
