Richard Le Gallienne once said, "Be it whim or emergency, the modern laboratory is equally at the service of romance, equally ready to gratify mankind with a torpedo or a toy." the short story, "A Dolls House" is a perfect example of this. Nora is a toy, no different than a Christmas tree, just a possession, nothing more. Nora's own husband calls her "it" never giving her proper respect.
A Christmas tree, festive, fun to look at, something no one takes seriously. As with Nora both are just treated as toys never taken seriously. Never being taken seriously takes it's toll on Nora who amasses a great amount of debt. It seem silly to compare a human being with a Christmas tree but it's true their the same, just a toy nothing more nothing less in her husband's eyes. .
