A Dolls house discussion

In Henrik Ibsen's play A Doll's House Nora's actions shows that she is very immature. When Kristine tells Nora about her troubles, Nora immediately brags about Torvald's new promotion, her wonderful kids, and her fantastic life; this shows that Nora is an inconsiderate person. Rather than worry about her long time friend that is going through a rough time, Nora is happy and proud while boasting about how nice her life is. Furthermore, Nora played with Dr.Rank's feelings for a long time. She was frequently alone with him and eventually Dr.Rank confessed his love for Nora, but Nora immediately crushed his feelings. Nora treated Dr.Rank as a toy and was very inconsiderate towards him, which showed that she was very immature and insensitive. Also, Nora treated her children like dolls. She allowed the nanny to take care of them, but liked to play with them and dress them up like dolls. Basically she let the nanny raise the children and only used the children as a source of entertainment; this showed a lack of responsibility on Nora's part and makes her seem very immature. In addition, Nora left her long time husband Torvald after he yelled at her for the first time. Although Nora believes that her marriage was a sham, Torvald was willing to make changes and make compromises with her. Torvald clearly demonstrated his love for Nora by even begging her to stay and act as only a sister to him. Although Torvald tried his best to convince Nora that he will change, Nora left her children and her long time husband in a heartbeat. Nora's selfish actions make her seem very immature, due to the abandonment of her loving husband and her young innocent children.

I think that Henrik Ibsen portrayed Torvald as an innconsiderate person. When Nora spends any money, Torvald acts like she is his pet. Torvald calls her his songbird that likes to spend his money and even parents his wife. Instead of treating her with respect and dignity he continued to treat Nora as a child, which showed that he is very inconsiderate. Furthermore, even though Torvald has known Krogstad for years he wants to fire him, since Krogstad calls him by his fist name in front of everybody. This selfish reason to fire someone is very inconsiderate, considering that someone's life is on the line and that his wife begged him not to fire Krogstad. Although Torfvald has known Krogstad since they were both in the same law school, he easily fired Krogstad over a very petty reason, which shows that his is an inconsiderate person.
