Doll's+House+symbolism

The macaroons represent the treat she gives herself. She sneaks them in because it makes her feel like she is free to do what she wants to do. Back in the day women don’t make their own decisions because the men controlled the women. The women had no say in anything or the men will tell them what to do.

Nora shut the door to leave Helmers house. The slamming door represents her leaving her life behind the door. When you shut the door in your life you are starting a new one. Nora wanted to go back to her home town and start a life like an independent women.

The letters represent the communication between Nora and Krogstad. That people talk over messages than talk to the person face to face. The letters helped Nora and Helmer talk about their personal life, and what they haven’t talked for 8 years in their marriage. That it is important for a couple to talk about personal stuff so they can have a good marriage.

At the masquerade Nora had a mask on so no one knew who she was. She was able to act the way she wanted to because people didn’t know who she was. She felt like she was finally free and can be like an independent women. Nora had a chance to have fun for once but Helmer doesn’t like it when she does what she wants to do.

The Tarantella is a dance that Nora was good at. She was able to twist all the bad thoughts out of her head. She didn’t have to worry about all the bad stuff that is happening because she is doing her favorite dance. The dance relaxes here because the Tarantella shakes all the thoughts out of here head.

She takes off the fancy dress because she doesn’t want to be controlled by Helmer. She is Helmers doll and when she takes it off, she isn’t his doll anymore. Nora doesn’t want be with him anymore and doesn’t want any of his fancy stuff he gave her. So she leaves her stuff behind to start a new won with new stuff. Reflection: The Doll’s House symbolism is related to a soccer team. When they lose a game they put it behind them. The team forgets about the game and gets ready for a new won. If you keep on thinking about the bad game the new won will just fly by you. The symbolism of Nora leaving Helmer is just like the game the team tries to forget about.
