Connection

Nora Helmer in the novel, A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen, and Louise Mallard both share a connection because they forfeit their own happiness for the sake of their husbands. Although they benefit in society due to their marriages, both characters lack the respect and independence they need in order to be happy. From their controlling husbands to the belittlement they face as women, the captivity they feel goes way beyond their just their homes.
