Linde and Nora
Linde and Nora: Compare and Contrast After reading "A Doll's House" by Hendrik Ibsen. I see that there is both a parallel and a contrast style in the characters of Mrs. Linde and Nora. A contrasting difference in the characters, are shown not in the characters themselves, but the role that they play in their marriages. These two women have different relationships with their husbands. Torvald and Nora have a relationship where there is no fairness. To Torvald Nora is an object. Therefore, she plays the submissive role in a society where the lady plays the passive role. Her most important duty is to please her husband, Torvald, making her role similar to a slave. Torvald also considers himself to be superior to her.
She makes a remark about Nora still being a child, as if to say that she was inexperienced. As for Cristine and Krogstad their relationship is much more open to us. Nora was raised in such a way that her role in their day and time required her to do whatever her husband said to do. Linde shows her loyalty to her family when she knew that she had the right to refuse her husband's marriage proposal. That lead to her being so submissive and the results was her not being able to have her own mind. Linde and Nora express their character traits of unselfishness and consideration in helping their significant others by sacrificing themselves. But after taking into consideration her sick mother, her brothers, and Krogstad having money, she married for the wellbeing of her family. At the end of the play Nora agrees that is it true, that she does not know much about the world and that if she wants to learn, she will have to experience that for herself. Which means that in this society family is top priority and loyalty to their loved ones is highly expected. Linde believes herself to be superior to Nora because she feels that Nora has never done hard work in her life.
