It’s important that you can write about the ending and its setting in time. Nora tells Helmer, ‘I’m leaving you now,  ’ (Act 3, p. 99).

Ask yourself: How does the time of day and year relate to Nora’s choice?

Possible answer: This is the darkest time of the year, but also celebrates the return of the sun. Nora chooses this moment to begin her new life.
