Honesty vs Integrity

          Spencer Johnson once said, “Integrity is telling myself the truth. And honesty is telling the truth to other people." In the short story, "A Doll's House," Nora the main character at first has neither. However throughout the piece she changes her thought process and at the end faces her fears. 

          Even now hundreds of years after "A Doll's House" was written Nora's troubles have never been more alive. Legends such as John Wooden swear by this advice. Often we tell ourselves that we are giving our best when in reality we have a little bit more in the tank that we could give. At the end of the story Nora 'cowboys up' and has enough Integrity to confront her fears by confronting her husband and gains honesty, perhaps the most important virtue.
