Even though Nora and Torvald had been married for eight years, she was never completely honest, even about things other than the money she borrowed. She does what Torvald wants her to do, almost as if he were her master. He even made sure she didn't check the mail because it was under lock and key. Torvald appears to be a very controlling individual. Throughout the second and final act of the play, one could wonder whether Nora truly loved her husband. It was almost as if she had a closer bond with Dr. Rank because he took the time to listen to her and try to understand.
