The judge discovered that Torvald never legally divorced Nora and is blackmailing her. Due to the patriarchal legal code, she is a criminal: all her professional contracts are void and her independent sex life adulterous.
Although Torvald now forgives Nora and declares that they can continue to live together as usual, Nora realizes that her marriage is not what she thought it was. After a conversation with Torvald, she decides that the she must leave her husband and children and go out into the world alone to "bring herself up".
She states that she felt like a 'puppet' under Torvald's control and she needs some time to live alone to understand herself. The play ends as Nora leaves Torvald, with the door slamming on her exit from the house. The play is considered one of the best works depicting female predicament of the Western bourgeois class.
Nora procured money and told Torvald that her father gave it to them, though she really raised it herself. Nora's father died before Torvald had a chance to find out that the money didn't come from him. Nora has kept the source of the money a secret because she doesn't want his “man's pride” to be hurt.
By the end of the play, Nora recognizes the destructive nature of these gender roles, telling Torvald that he and her father, by enforcing societal expectations on her, are the reason she has “made nothing of [her] life.”
This was primarily due to the play's ending, in which the protagonist, Nora, leaves her husband and three small children in order to seek self-realization. Although condemned for having created a feminist home-wrecker, Ibsen remained steadfast in his choice of endings.
The play contains ample evidence to suggest that Nora did love her husband, although this love was eventually unable to withstand the stark difference between what Nora expected from Torvald and what he actually gave her.
What secret does Nora keep from Torvald and why does she keep that secret? Nora had borrowed the money they used for his trip to Italy for his health from Krogstad instead of getting it from her father. She keeps it a secret because Torvald didn't like to owe money or be in debt and was against borrowing money.
Years ago, Nora Helmer committed a forgery in order to save the life of her authoritarian husband Torvald.
Torvald cares a lot about morals and social standing, but Nora has a secret: she has taken a loan without her husband's knowledge (illegal at the time) by forging her father's signature, and even though this loan money was used to help Torvald, he is about to find out.
Ibsen's emendation was written to satisfy Hedwig Niemann-Raabe, a prominent actress in the German theater, who wanted to play Nora but refused to perform the ending as first written, claiming she would never leave her children in such a manner.
Nora Helmer's tragic flaw is undoubtedly her naiveté. As Aristotle stated, 'the tragedy is usually triggered by some error of judgment or some character flaw' and it can be said that it is Nora's innocence that inevitably leads her to her tragic fall.
Dr. Rank then arrives. Nora asks him for a favor, but Rank responds by revealing that he has entered the terminal stage of his disease and that he has always been secretly in love with her.

After Sarah and Luc are officially married, Saul and Jonathan decide to get married. One of Brody's four other children crashes the wedding. At the reception, Kitty and Seth accept whatever will be with her pregnancy, while Justin and Tyler finally become a couple again—as do Nora and Brody.
Nora has to leave her children so that they can also become real human beings just like her. The responsible thing to do would be to raise them herself, but at that point, Nora's mind was in no shape to raise more than one person, herself. The nanny can help raise them, but she also helped raise Nora.
Nora is the main character of the play, and we get to find out about her secret when Mrs. Linde comes to have a chat with her. It appears that Nora borrowed a large sum of money from Krogstad to pay for the trip to Italy. It was the only chance to help Torvald improve his health.
What secret has Nora been keeping from Torvald? She was in love with his brother before she married him. She borrowed the money they used to take a trip to Italy. She had an affair with Krogstad five years earlier.
Krogstad first requests that Nora uses her influence on her husband to convince him secure Krogstad's job. When Nora denies his request, Krogstad reminds her of the signature Nora left in the bank's promissory note. Krogstad threatens Nora that he will reveal her past crime of forgery unless she helps him.
When she flirts with him by showing her stockings, it seems that she hopes to entice Dr. Rank and then persuade him to speak to Torvald about keeping Krogstad on at the bank. Yet after Dr. Rank confesses that he loves her, Nora suddenly shuts down and refuses to ask her favor.
At the end of A Doll's House, Nora makes the ultimate assertion of her agency and independence by walking out on her husband and her children in order to truly understand herself and learn about the world.
Rank confesses his love for Nora, stating that he wanted her to know before he leaves (implying his impending death). He emphasizes that she can trust him more than anyone else. This moment is pivotal because it disrupts Nora's intention to confide in Rank about her own secret (her forgery).
Also, it seems like he shows much more interest in Nora's personality and choices than Torvald. Moreover, later in the play, Dr. Rank reveals his true feelings. It appears that he had been secretly in love with Nora for years.
Nils Krogstad starts as a villain but changes when he reconnects with his love, Mrs. Linde. Krogstad shares a lot with Nora, including forgery, but wants to be a good person. Krogstad helps move the story by causing problems that force Nora to face big choices.
As Nora's childish innocence and faith in Torvald shatter, so do all of her illusions. She realizes that her husband does not see her as a person but rather as a beautiful possession, nothing more than a toy.
