She definitely changed a lot throughout the play, but I thought it to be a little unrealistic because it changed so quickly. From the beginning to the near end of the play, she seemed like an immature, dependent, annoying little girl. But at the end, she suddenly turns into this mature person that talks back to her husband as if she's been holding it down her whole life. I think that's a bit unrealistic because if you were really a type of person like that, then it'd be really hard to hide that for such a long time and act the way Nora does in the beginning. There's a limit to how much you can hide your true self.

yea agree with ya. she was childish, irresponsible, and dependent on Torvald in the beginning but in the end, she realized that she does not deserve this and becomes independent from her husband. Her personality became more thoughtful and mature.

In my view, Nora's personality did not change throughout the play but she has showed more of her true personality. Like Julie said, it seems unlikely that Nora could change her personality in just one day. It seems like that Nora's personality has changed because we did not see the independent strong Nora in the beginning of the play. In the last act, Nora herself told Torvald that she had to act like a doll to her father and to her husband, trying to please everyone and the society. That's why I think that Nora has been strong from the beginning of the play. And as the story progressed, she showed more of her true self to other characters in the end.

In the beginning Nora was basically a little kid. She was always used to being taken care of by her husband and was basically existing to make him happy. She was happy whenever he was happy. However, all of a sudden she became this mature person that can think for herself and realized that her old life was something she did not want. She even said she thought she was happy but she now sees that she wasn't.

In the beginning of the play, Nora was treated as a child. So, she was basically like child to her husband and couldn’t do anything without Torvald. She was controlled by Torvald and dependent on her husband. In addition, Nora’s identity is depended on Torvald’s identity. Later, Nora changed her personality oppositely like Torvald’s characteristic. Nora realized that she did not have any happiness time in the past with Torvald. She now found what the most important thing to her was and decided to leave the house.

I don't think that Nora's personality changed much over the play. I think that instead of change, it was a reveal of Nora's true personality. That's what makes the play so brilliant. At first, it makes you think that her personality makes her a detestable character, but bits of her are revealed that make you feel for her and like her.

Yeaa I noticed Nora's big character transformation throughout the play. At first, I thought she was very immature because she couldn't do anything without her dad or her husband. And she looked like she isn't even aware of how childish she is. But at the end, it was a big surprise to me to learn that she leaves the house and decides to live without Torvald and her children. So throughout the play, she changes from immature,childish to mature,independent lady.

Even though I didn't watch the play, from reading it, I agree with you that Nora changed from a childish person into a thoughtful and caring person. I thought she was just stupid and relied on her husband to do everything. But in the end, after I saw what she had done for her husband and how she left him, I thought that she had her opinions and wasn't dependent on someone else.

In the beginning of the play, Nora was quite obedient and not that confident in herself. She was very submissive to her own husband. She was afraid of talking back to her husband or raising her voice. However, as the play continued, she became much more confident and started to become self-independent. She no longer made decisions based on her husband's opinions. She knew what she wanted and she followed her heart.

Nora's personality is kinda volatile. At one point, you see her like an innocent child who talks foolishly and then, out of nowhere, she matures up so rapidly that she could outsmart her husband, the man of the house, in an argument and eventually decides to leave the family. That was pretty intense.

She was very childish, insecure and immature at the beginning of the play but as time passes, she became very mature and knows how to work things out. Thats why she thought that the situation she was in wasnt right so she decided to leave the house and live her own life and find her identity
