She knew what society expected of her and she chose to be a wife and mother knowing that there were certain standards she was to uphold. If she had of wanted to do other things then she should have forgotten about being a wife and mother and simply lived her life alone. Just because a bad person offers you candy does not mean one has to take it. Plus society worked well for other females during the same time period so Nora knew what was expected of her. There are no places for cop out excuses.

Oh and by the way it’s “A Doll House,” not “A Doll’s House,” it really irritated my English teacher when she saw how much it’s said incorrectly, lol.
