Upon finding the letter, Nils drops the letter that gives account of Nora's actions. All along, Nora hopes that the wonderful thing will happen and Helmer will shield her from all blame and guilt. Ironically, he blames her and hurls insults at her for defaming his name. in the long run, Heler ends up suffering because of his steadfast refusal to listen to his wife’s whims.

When Nils Krogstad sends out the letter detailing the bond, Nora had expected that he would take full blame for the bond and refuse to be blackmailed by Nils Krogstad as he had high moral values. Helmer, reprimands Nora like a child, denies his love for her and insults her for the forgery without considering that the money was borrowed to treat him. This proves that he is a hypocrite and coward to Nora. When Nils Krogstad returns the bond, he says that he is safe and ironically forgives Nora for her actions. Nora realizes that she has been living a lie ever since getting acquainted to Helmer for the past or more years. She waited patiently and when the wonderful thing did not happen, she realizes that Helmer wasn’t the man she had thought he was. Nora says that they have never sat down to talk seriously as husband and wife, as Helmer had forced his tastes and preferences on her. She says she has been a doll-wife just like she was her papa’s doll-child. Theirs has been a marriage based on pretense and she needs to stand alone to understand herself. She asks to separate from Helmer and the children with hope that if Helmer changes then she will come back. Helmer’s loses his wife ultimately. She realizes that she has lived with a stranger for eight long years. She instructs him never to write to her. What a sad end!
