Dane Lane · Answer 2

The evidence from the text that best supports the theme that it is important to have independence is "I must stand quite alone, if I am to understand myself and everything about me." In "A Doll's House", by Henrik Ibsen, Nora finds herself trapped in her married life. She needs to find what is best for her, and for that purpose she needs to be alone, it is important to have the independence to think about herself and what she really wants.
