 * [|Women Roles] In the Doll House Torvald believed that a women's [|(Nora)] duties in the household should be just that women's duties. Nora should take care of her husband, children and the home. Some men feel women are not capable of responsibilities out side the home. Torvald was one of these men. Torvald spoke to Nora as if she herself was a child. He showed her off at parties as if she was a trophy. He treated her not as an equal partner in their marriage but as a bystander. He believe that it was unnecessary to speak with her regarding important decision making regarding their family. This way of thinking lead Nora to feel worthless. Nothing at that point of their marriage could have changed Nora's mind. She believed she was incompetent because Torvald made her feel this way throughout their marriage. Nora believed she needed to educate herself so she would not feel inferior to a man again. When Nora walked out the door, Torvald was left wandering what he could have done differently to make their marriage last.
