I just saw "a dolls house" a couple of months ago. I think most of you are failing to view the play in context. I don't think we're supposed to revere or sympathize with Nora -- she is a product of the way women were expected to behave. Society created Torvald, Nora, and their marriage and I think that Trovald's inability to stand by his wife in light of her financial mistakes shook Nora's world view enough to make her realize that she had spent years living in denial about her marriage. No one ever said Nora was a saint, but given the time period her realization, not to mention her actions, were a huge feminist statement.
