Question

Am i right?? please check

Answer 1

Well it's certainly one of them. I don't think that in this speech Torvald is really trying to make her obedient and controlled, but I'm not a woman. Women might take it that way, I've no doubt. He speaks with affection calling her "my little spendthrift." He's not telling her to take everything she bought back. He's just making a comment. He did speak a little sharply at the beginning of his line, so if you think that's about obedience and control, go with it.

To Nora it's about Christmas. I don't think it's entirely about money or he would be really reaming her out. She knows they can afford it. Of the first 2 I'd pick the first one.

No one is deceived. Again, he'd really be after her if he thought that.

They are both realistic. They just see things differently. Ah yes. They married!!!

Their marriage isn't breaking down. Not here anyway.

A and B for 2 answers

B or A for just one.

Later on in the play it turns out that it is very much about money and deceit and a marriage that is having problems. but all that is in act 2 far away from this scene. I don't know which one of the 2 to pick. There are too many things going on to really pick if you are going to bring the rest of the play into it. There's blackmail, a betrayal of trust, a woman fed up with her circumstances. It's all very complex.
