is rooted in a legal system that disregards women s autonomy This fact makes her a victim of societal injustice Additionally societal expectations confine Nora to the role of a submissive wife and mother Torvald treats her as a possession rather than a partner calling her my little skylark and my squirrel These terms may seem affectionate but they reinforce the idea that Nora is a decorative dependent figure in Torvald s life Her role as a doll-wife leaves her with no opportunity to grow or express her individuality She later realizes I have been your doll-wife just as at home I was Papa s doll-child This revelation highlights how society has conditioned her to prioritize pleasing others over her own needs Nora as a Victim of Her Relationships Nora s suffering is also caused by the men in her life Her father treated her like a child never allowing her to form her own opinions She tells Torvald Being with Torvald is a little like being with Papa This upbringing conditioned Nora to accept a life of dependence and obedience Torvald s hypocritical and controlling nature further victimizes Nora While he expects her to sacrifice for him he is unwilling to do the same for her When her secret is revealed he berates her saying Do you understand now what it is you have done for me Torvald s focus on his reputation rather than Nora s sacrifice exposes his selfishness and lack of genuine love Even after he forgives her it is clear that he sees her as a possession rather than an equal Nora as a Victim of Circumstances Nora s lack of self-awareness and independence is not her fault but a result of societal conditioning She lives in a world where women are expected to obey men and where breaking these norms leads to isolation and condemnation Her decision to forge her father s signature though illegal was an act of desperation caused by her limited options Krogstad s blackmail and Torvald s betrayal leave her with no support system It forces her to leave her family to seek independence She declares I am going to see if I can make out who is right the world or I In conclusion Nora Helmer is more a victim than an agent of her suffering Her choices are dictated by the constraints of a patriarchal society her relationships and the expectations imposed on her as a woman Nora s realization of her victimhood drives her decision to leave her husband and children Her journey toward self-discovery underscores the profound injustices she has endured
