Dr. Rank suggests Nora should go to the next masquerade dressed as "Charmed Life," and that she should dress "just as she looks every day." What is the implication about Nora's daily life? Is it charmed? Or is the charm a masquerade? Explain.

In Henrik Ibsen's "A Doll's House," Dr Rank is so in love with Nora that he believes that her life is perfect. As a result, he considers that she should dress as she always does. However, I think Nora's charm is a masquerade because she lives a purposeless life under the rule of her husband. In fact, when she sees the box masquerade clothes she feels like "rip them in a million pieces!" Thus, she probably feels disatisfied with her life: she may want to be taken more seriously by her husband or find a way out of her marriage and start over again.
