Being fearless is not just an everyday feeling. It’s a feeling that is so powerful, it seems like your on top of the world. At the end of the play, A Dolls House, Nora soaks in this characteristic. At the beginning she’s weak, dumb, and egocentric. By the end of the play she’s independent, devoted to her self, and leaves Helmer which shows she’s fearless.
One way Nora gains her independence is letting herself be her own person. She was living a lie her whole life. She was unhappy, depressed, and unloved. She wakes up to reality when she takes off the dress. Its like the dress was tying her down from who she really was. When she lets everything out she becomes a completely new person. She rebelled against Helmer, and started making her own decisions. She was a fearless women by being independent through out the whole book.
Another way Nora is fearless is by letting go of Helmer, and leaving him. She was always trying to make Helmer happy, but what she didn’t realize is that she needed to be happy before any one else was happy. Helmer was Nora’s brain, he made her decisions, told her what to wear, what to eat, everything you could think of Helmer made it. Nora soon got tired of it, and decided to do what was right for her. Leaving Helmer is probably going to be the best decision Nora had ever made in her life, which shows she’s not scared to take a risk.
Last but not least, Nora takes a chance to find her self. She wants to be her own person, she doesn’t want to be a follower. She wants to go out in the world and make her own decisions, be a leader, and most of all be happy. She realizes her whole life she was trying to be perfect and somebody she wasn’t, when she could have been herself the whole time. All though she left her kids, it might have been for the best. She would have wanted her kids to know their mother, not someone who was a lier. That it’s self proves how she is fearless.
In the end, Nora finally makes the right decision. She did everything she could do for Helmer, but she just couldn’t put up with him any longer. She becomes independent, fearless, and strong and that makes all the difference.


I think Nora being fearless really relates to how someone would react to in order to catch a wave, or beginning how to learn. You have to be fearless to even learn how to surf. Taking a chance is what Nora did, and thats what many surfers do.
