Read the excerpt from act 3 of A Doll’s House.Nora: Alas, Torvald, you are not the man to educate me into being a proper wife for you.Helmer: And you can say that!Nora: And I—how am I fitted to bring up the children?Helmer: Nora!Nora: Didn't you say so yourself a little while ago—that you dare not trust me to bring them up?Helmer: In a moment of anger! Why do you pay any heed to that?Nora: Indeed, you were perfectly right. I am not fit for the task. There is another task I must undertake first. I must try and educate myself—you are not the man to help me in that. I must do that for myself.
