Compare and contrast the portrayal of the relationship Mrs Linde and Nora have with their parents.

Nora treatment of her father - leaving him on his deathbed - contrasts highlight with Mrs Linde's treatment, as she chose to care for her sick parent. Nora's treatment is reflective of her childlike nature, which in turn contrasts with Mrs Linde's portrayal as a practical and pragmatic person and Nora's childlike nature. The relationships are also impacted by the wealth of each characters; where Mrs Linde is from a poorer family who must rely upon other family members for support, Nora is from a richer family. This is inductive of wealth disparities in late 19th century Europe, where healthcare quality was highly dependent on personal wealth. Thus, the contrast between Mrs Linde and Nora's relationship with their parents is in turn a reflection of societal differences at the time as well a reflection of the nature of the characters. Relevant references to other characters in the story, especially those with a close relationship to Nora such as Torvald would be beneficial.
