   Nora changes because she grows up. She realizes she has gone directly from her father’s house to her husband’s house and never really was “herself” until she walks out at the end. She takes a leap of faith – and I love the play. It reminds me a lot of myself and always think that she “makes it”. Pax – C.

   Nora doesn’t change. Her actions do. When she realizes her entire life is a total lie, and that lie is about to fall apart, she takes action, which is a change for her.
   Her first thought is to kill herself. But instead she resolves to leave Torvald and her life behind. After the symbolic Tarantella, the final display of her subservience and her facaded existence, she leaves Torvald. She stops thinking about fantasies and dances. She decides to take reality into her own hands.
   In the end, she’s really the same woman. The difference is that she’s stopped living in the fantasy world and started living in the reality around her. In a sense, Nora dies. But it’s the Nora that lives below Torvald who dies. Independent Nora lives stronger than ever.

   Nora doesn’t really change, however her point of view does. She has a sort of epiphany when she realizes that her husband doesn’t really love her the way she thought that he did. She had saved him by illegally borrowing money (she forged her father’s signanature) and when he finds out all he can talk about is his reputation and what a horrible thing she has done, while a few minutes before he was telling Nora that he sometimes wished that she would be in some kind of danger just so that he could save her and throw his life before her. She realizes that these are all lies and she sees that everything that the Victorian society and that her father taught her about her role as woman is wrong. She begins to question everything. She tells her husband that she must find out who she is now on her own and then she walks out the door and leaves him.
