But our homes been nothing but a playpen. Ive been your doll-wife here, just as at home I was Papas doll-child. And in turn the children have been my dolls. I thought it fun when you played with me, just as they thought it fun when I played with them. Thats been our marriage, Torvald.Nora Helmer, Act III Variant translation: Our home has been nothing but a playroom. I have been your doll-wife, just as at home I was papas doll-child; and here the children have been my dolls. I thought it great fun when you played with me, just as they thought it great fun when I played with them. That is what our marriage has been, Torvald.
