Abstract
Nora’s obstacle is her marriage, which out of its specific character prevents her from becoming fully human. Nora and Torvald have built their marriage and lives around a shared mythology, based loosely on Christian concepts of morality, sin, and redemption, in which Nora idolizes Torvald as a god in whose presence she must submit and behind whose back she lives a secret, “sinful” existence.
