The composer continues to describe the Winter, again using descriptive language to create a cold harsh environment, and allow the reader to sympathise for the duckling.

Another metaphor, “making it a screen between herself and the surrounding snow and silence” is displayed to show how Ann used work to create a wall between her and the silence inside as well as the dangerous weather outside. The snow symbolizes her feelings of isolation as Ann is without her husband due to the weather. The silence is a constant reminder that she is alone while her husband is out in the blizzard. Ultimately, Ann will do anything in her power to escape this reality.

Cold weather brings ice and snow. This frozen water provides many enjoyable outlets for Ruth such as ice skating and building snowmen. The snow makes Fingerbone different and therefore exciting, cementing the idea that change is good and can come anywhere and in any form in Ruth's mind. After the snow melts mass floods rip away at the very soil the town lies upon. The ever changing landscape of fingerbone challenges Ruth’s abilities to remain grounded to a singular place. This variation gives Ruth the ability to be comfortable in many different walks of life. Thus propelling her even farther into Sylvie's world and way of

Each time Nora finds herself unable to help herself the problem is easily directly traced back to her husband, her father, and to the overbearing dominance of the male society.

I held Clementine’s hand in the cold as we walked through the snow covered field. Our breath hung in the air like sheets of ice and I could feel my own lungs as they greedily sucked up the frigid air. She and I had decided to attend the burning today. She said she wanted to bid her parents goodbye. I didn't tell her, but I was going to say my goodbyes to her. But I think she knew. She just had a look in her eyes, a strange one that proclaimed nothing but fear and a resounding emptiness. It was like she had just given up.

Torvald's reaction to the letter opens Nora eyes to the truth about her relationship with Torvald . Nora starts thinking of ways to change her priorities and of course an action to take. Nora shifts her thinking from suicide to deciding to leave Torvald and her kids. Nora becomes more independent on herself rather than having to rely on Torvald. Nora now realizes that she can escape from Torvald's realm of a "perfect family" and have no regrets.

Here, Nora pulls together the tragic circumstances. She sees that she was never truly happy in the house, just content. Her father kept her as a child would a doll, and Torvald continued this when they were married. They formed her opinions for her, set expectations to which she was supposed to adhere, and wrote a vague script of how she was supposed to act. She was like a puppet, with no thoughts or actions of her own. When she finally realizes the injustice being done to her, she decides to free herself.

Krogstad visits Nora without the presence of Helmer and when he arrives “the door is half opened” (13). At that time, men and married women could not converse without the presence of the married woman’s spouse, so Krogstad’s choice to visit Nora while knowing of Helmer’s absence, creates a sense of tension in and of itself. However, the door left half open gives the audience the idea of concealed truth, creating more tension between the characters and the audience. Krogstad then tells Nora that the “outer door was ajar,” leading the audience to believe that he knows he should not have come to see her without Helmer there (13). With the door partially opened, he felt as though he could justify his sudden appearance, while his attempt to portray this justification to Nora simply confirms his knowledge of the wrong he commits. The partially open doors indicate tension as the characters search for the truth, in ways that harm their moral

Her final goal was so important to her, protecting her family, she knew she had to do whatever was necessary, even if that meant not being true to her husband or society. In the end, she realizes that it was more important to her husband his reputation, than what it had meant to Nora, all she had done for the love of her family, concluding to the raw truth that her husband didn´t really love her: he loved what she represented before society, a loving, faithful wife that compelled to all his expectations. She knew that to love her children, she needed first to understand and love herself, a thought way beyond and ahead of time, for a woman in the late 1800´s.
