= ﻿Emasculation in A Doll's House by Ibsen =


 * "Almost everyone who has gone to the bad early in life has had a deceitful mother. […] It seems most commonly to be the mother's influence." (1.471-1.473)**
 * -Torvald**


 * In //A Doll's House// by Ibsen, the emasculation is prerelevent. Many say that Torvald was emasculated by Nora throughout the play because of how well she treated and mothered him. Torvald tried very hard to speak up and get is power back over Nora, but it did not work because she would ignore him in my opinion. As you can tell by the picture on the left, it shows Torvald with his arm up. It looks like he is attempting to regain his power.**
