Answer: Nora's speech resolves the conflict and develops the theme that women have an equal right to be free.

Explanation:

A Doll's House is a three-act play written by Henrik Ibsen. Its premiere was performed at the Royal Theater in Copenhagen, in 1879.

Some critics considered the play's ending scandalous, while others praised it as revolutionary. At the end, Nora decides to leave home and become free from all the duties and humiliation, which was unimaginable in 1879, when women were dependent on their husbands. The excerpt given above celebrates Nora's independence and equal rights. She is aware that her husband will not look after her when she leaves, but chooses to be free from all the obligations. Although the society might disapprove of her decision, the feeling of freedom is more important to her.
