YMMV can't be played with,


* WhyWouldAnyoneTakeHimBack: ZigZagged. Torvald berates Nora viciously, then just as abruptly decides to forgive her because she is like a child and knows no better. She allows him to hug her and tell her how much he loves her, leaves to get changed - and walks back in with a suitcase to announce that she's leaving him.

* FairForItsDay: Despite its ValuesResonance, people teaching it to a 21st century audience often have to stress that this was written in the ''19th'' century. 21st century people are far more likely to have grown up in single-parent households with a "Deadbeat parent" or where people who agree to "Co-parent". What hasn't helped is its MisaimedFandom (See below) misinterpret the ending.

** The story even discusses how it's important to be honest and open with your romantic partner; something that strikes chord with anyone who has to put up a front, flaunt their assets, or change themselves just to be more acceptable or "doable".

** A long-standing one centers around Nora's walking out not being her finally snatching agency for heeself but a selfish whim that hypocritically leaves her children stuck in the same environment she suffered in.

Wrong use of trope


* ValuesDissonance: However Nora's decision to leave her children is if anything ''more'' controversial now. For all his flaws, the audience in the late 1800s could expect that Torvald would attempt to raise the children right. However to a modern audience with increased awareness of child abuse and parental neglect the situation with Torvald and the children can easily be seen as a powder-keg for childhood trauma. The decision today would be treated with a little more moral ambiguity.[[note]]especially since nowadays a woman has ''far'' more say in the decision to have children and many people would make the argument that a woman has a responsibility for choosing to have children where in the late 1800s there was much less choice in the matter.[[/note]]

Some Anvils Need To Be Dropped got cut, but this is definitely something. Going to see if there's a trope that fits this.


* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: After the truth comes out about how Torvald doesn't really love Nora for Nora, she removes her proverbial mask and tells Torvald why she must leave him. After spending the entire play masquerading as an airheaded ditz whenever her husband's around, she suddenly shows him how serious and well spoken she truly is. If the effect is jarring, the message is downright radical considering the time when the play came out.
* ValuesResonance: Suffice to say its themes have struck a cord with anyone who believes in female rights.
