I found that Nora was manipulative and did not deserve sympathy, now-a-day a woman gets little sympathing for fucking up, why should she get it then? Women in that time knew how a marriage worked and she knew she would be nothing but a trophie wife for her husband.
I find, though that it is often times the parents fault for the illusion that everything will be fine if the man takes care of everything but the kids and housework. She was spoiled and niave. Although deep down she knew exactly how to work things with her husband, her menipulation of her "role" as trophie wife. Being "brainless" and how often she seemed clueless when in fact she was mostly in control.
As far as the husband, she had a blanket over his eyes. Their marriage was a sham. All those lies and the deception. maybe if they had both seen how a marriage SHOULD work, then it could've been better. Although I'm not so sure, the husband was a bit stuck in his ways and she seemed to enjoy her little secrets and the control she had when pretending to be stupid.
My real question is, how can a woman leave her children with a man who feels that way towards women? And how come she had to leave in the manor she did? It sounds like a teenager who just got in trouble and would rather run away then face the consiquences...
