A Doll’s House: Effects and Symbols Someone once stated, “Actions speak louder than words.” I feel this quote strongly depicts the many effects and symbols made through out A Doll’s House. Most importantly, this play deals with the character and the independence of a woman. Not only is it evident that the women of this age were treated as property, but I feel the various effects and symbols help to elucidate the main theme as well. Nora Torvald was a prime example of a woman being a victim in her own freedom. At the beginning of the play, Nora gives the impression that she is content as both a wife and mother. Nora responds affectionately to Torvald's teasing, speaks with excitement about his money and new job, and takes great pleasure in the company of her children and friends. She does not seem to mind her doll-like existence, in which she is coddled, pampered, and patronized. But, as the play progresses, Nora reveals her other side and claims she is not the "silly girl," Torvald calls her.
