What's in a title?

The name, "A Doll's House" is pretty ideal for this story in multiple ways. To begin with, the main female Nora, relates herself with a play doll. She said in the story how her father used to have his own opinions and used her as a doll because she could never have any opinions of her own. Even if she disagreed with her father, she would not say anything because it would have made him mad. She compared herself to a play doll in a way that shows the audience that she had no mind or opinion like a doll does not. Just as a doll has no heart or mind and is not living, Nora felt that she had no ability to have her own opinion therefore relating herself to a figure doll. The house resembles a doll house because Nora marries this perfect man that treats her perfect and brings in a lot of money. In a way she has a "perfect doll-like life".

At the end of the story, she relates her husband to her father. When she decides to tell Torvald that she does not love him anymore, she says that she becomes to the point as she was when she lived with her father. She told him that she came from his house into Torvald's having the same feelings of not having her own opinion. She always pretended to like what Torvald liked to stay in the house and play out the roll of a "perfect doll-like life". She had the kids, the husband, and the house to lay out her perfect dollhouse. This title is actually perfect for the story.
