Through characters like Nils Krogstad and Torvald Helmer, we see how those living in this society were primarily concerned with their social standing and reputation, while through the character of Mrs. Lindie the reader sees just as women also fell into the trap of behaving like “dolls”: doing everything expected of them while remaining obedient. Although some of these characters may seem cruel, they have a huge impact on Nora's character and help her realize that she is not living the way she would like. Brunnemer states: “There is an evolutionary process by which the mini-Nora of the initial scenes becomes the super-Nora of the final scenes” (1). At the beginning of the play, Nora is portrayed as an obedient wife who would never stray from her husband's desires and, consequently, society's expectations. By the end of the show, we see her blossom into an individual who wants to make her own decisions and follow her own path. Brunnemer also says that "Nora, seeing her worst fears materialize, frees herself from them" (1). This statement sums up the final push for Nora's transformation, mentioning that she does not fully realize her lack of freedom until her husband discovers the forgery. After the situation passes and her worst fears are brought to light, she realizes that she doesn't like the life she leads
