Main charaters of a Doll's house and its themes

The play’s themes are: Marriage ,Drama,Family life
The sacrificial role of women; parental and filial obligations; the unreliability of appearance It also battles with the duties and roles of each a husband and a wife.
Three main characters are:
• Torvold: also known as Helmer who is Nora’s husband and works at a bank
• Nora: Torvold’s wife who’s sole purpose is to please her husband
• Krogstad: a fellow co-worker of Torvold who is in fear that he will lose his job ( www.sparknote.com/lit/dollhouse) :The play title may relate to the play because: since it is about the role of a man and women and family life, when you play with doll's you must have a "mommy" and a "daddy" and the mother is usually cooking and taking care of the children and the father is the one bringing home the bacon
