Marcus puts the blame almost entirely on his wife as the root of the problem. What Nora is really portraying, in her actions, is a concern for her own problems and a disregard for her responsibilities. He tells her that he forgives her for what she had done and that everything would be ok. Marcus starts with unyielding disappoint from his wife when he places her in a cycle of vicious injustice, "you have sinned me greatly--" The five words of the letter creates the stage where the husband is showing his power over his wife. But at the same time, I still feel that goes back to the message of humanism with a human working to aspiring to find herself. But on further thought I decided just to cut off your wife and send it back to you because I have nothing to do with her. In Marcus' letter, he doesn't beg her to come back or claim to make any changes for her. Tufts purpose in arguing that Nora be seen as narcissistic can be explained by the way the story ended.

In Marcus's letter to his wife, his tone comes off as authoritative, egotistic,extremely critical, threatening and domineering. During that time period, women were expected to get married and have children, even if they did not want to. The husband clearly does not take blame in their nor does he feel sincere throughout the letter.He even is so content in her coming back, he adds in "But if you decide to act sensibly, and correctly, that is just and kindly, then be certain that many in the world will envy."

She leaves as to say that money isn't happiness and that Torvald was deceiving her with their marriage because she was only there as a trophy from her father, not a wife.Witham and Lutterbie later on write that, "she renounces not only her marital vows but also her financial dependence because she has discovered that personal and human freedom are not measured in economic terms."

She need support from Torvald. He expresses his dissatisfaction of her actions by telling her outright she "sinned greatly." I believe that throughout the play, Nora exhibits all the traits of a narcissistic person. Since the beginning all she ever really cared about is money and how its so important to have, instead of having family as her number one priority. She might have been a bit drastic by leaving her kids as well as her husband, but I don't think that by leaving makes her narcissistic. Torvald was mostly lovey-dovey with her making sure Nora had her every wish that he could give her. He is attempting to inform her that hes fine without her, but the children and the house arent. He is almost warning her that if she doesn't come home, she will be worse off than if she stayed. She acted like a child to get what she wanted and went along with this act to manipulate him.

WebNnaemeka shares a letter from his father with his new wife, Nene. These are just two different ways for each person to deal with the break up and every person is different. When coming to that conclusion Ms. Tuft uses diagnosis "criteria established bythe American Psychiatric Association," such as Nora's "grandiose sense of self-importance (and an) inability to recognizethe distress of someone who is seriously ill.

The art of perforating, or making a hole through any solid body. However, if Marcus' letter is indeed a future version of the letter Helmer is going to write to Nora, I do not believe Helmer would be far more demanding than Marcus because because Helmer's main concern is his dignity. I wonder if Nora thinks about all that while being so into herself with this duties to self. He asks the man to explain Hester's crime. With time, the pressure of following her husband's orders could no longer be tolerated which was why she left. Almost slave like relationship. Instead, they were limited with opportunities, and the only salvation they felt was through religion. There was no real similarity between Marcus and Torvald, the only thing I could say is that Marcus suggested to this wife if you need money she should ask her father, where Torvald would not allow Nora to accepted money from her father because Torvald was responsible for his wife financial needs. When she spoke with Anne Marie about how she left her children to take care of her, she was just using that information to talk about herself, questioning what would happen if she left her children.

As Nora is the main character of the play, she would be receiving the most attention, however, Nora seems to like the attention. Though I am not falling for that all poor people are happy stuff. She also had a preoccupation with an ideal love story and when that kove story did not play out in the end, she left. When she leaves her family at the end of the play, her excuse may be that she finally wants to be in control of her own life and make her own decisions which on that side who can blame her? I'm not saying I disagree with the Marxists approach, in fact I agree with it 100%, but I just think it went without saying, I don't think its necessary to have Marxist approach to A Doll's House, only because that was how economics were one hundred years or so ago. While yes, these things seem as though they are narcissistic roles, but if a lady has no other option, then the role of a housewife of this time period can really lead no where else besides egocentricity. Though at the first glance it is hidden from view once you read it again you will see it more clearly. I found the tone of Marcus's letter very sexist. This shows that he believes women will not willingly choose to live on their own because they may be incapable, dependent, or other things. The tone of the letter described a lack of maturity and a presence of self entitlement inherent in the voice of the writer. He says everything he can guilt her into coming back to him. Only then would she be allowed to return to "my house"(Marcus's) not "their house". WebSeveral of the younger Pliny's letters are addressed to Suetonius, with whom he lived in the closest friendship. Tuft proposes a shift away from a more feminist perspective to a more egocentric and humanist perspective, since he argues that current readers do not quite realize the severity of the situation when a wife chooses to deny her duties to her husband and children in favor of her duties to herself. Instead, words that describe tone focus on how the person's disposition or mood is conveyed. She leaves her children and her husband behind because she wanted to be free. When Nora was threatening to leave, Torvold didnt try to guilt her into staying. What might have been shocking is now seen somewhat antiquated. Marcus focuses this letter to his specification and what his needs were and how she was to perform her duties as his wife. Her departure is also on very short notice, which would make one think that Helmer's reaction would be one of great surprise and anger. I understand why some are saying that Nora is seen as narcissistic, however, I do not believe so. She abandons her family. I am sure about it.

The letter tells of the witches' prophecy for him, which is treated as a certainty, because "I have learned by the perfectest report, they have more in them than mortal knowledge" (1.5.1-3) . This point acted to support Ibsen's statement that Nora was not necessarily the heroine which readers so often liked to portray her as. In fact, during the whole beginning of the letter, he states, "you, alone, carry the guilt of all the misfortune." Marcus even states, So it is with us; you, alone, carry the guilt of all the misfortune which, however, I helped to enlarge later by my behavior.(Isben, 1765) This passage reveals how serious Marcus is about his wife being the blame to everything that has been a failure. He writes "you alone carry the guilt of all the misfortune" and that their happiness is dependent on her ability and willingness to strictly follow his orders.

And equality of both individuals coming together was something Marcus and Torvald clearly missed.Torvald makes statements such as "Are you sick?"

The condition of ones marriage should come before the words of neighborhood gossipers. this is very similar to Helmer in A Dolls House. I never considered a Marxist approach when thinking about A Doll House, but it makes some good points and I can see it some many of the other characters perspectives not just Nora and Tolvald. She always wants things to center around her which seems to be the reason why she loves all the attention and little games her and Torvald would play in the beginning of the story. She's always talking about how her husband is now going to make so much money she will live worry-free. I dont think she is the one. Nora especially.
