At the end of act III, I was not surprised at the end of the play. I think that Nora's actions leading up to the end of the play was preparing the reader that Nora was going to leave. I think Nora's lack of devotion to her children played a big factor in this. I believe that if she would have had a better relationship with them, she would have stayed with Torvald for the sake of the children. I think Nora finding herself also lead her to leave Torvald. Realizing that she wasn't the picture-perfect wife made her realize that staying with Torvald was no good for her.
     I believe that after the play ends, she will have no communication with either Torvald or her children. I do not believe that the miracle of Torvald changing will undergo, and she will continue to live her life on her own. I personally believe that Mrs. Linde leaving and going to start a life with Torvald somewhat inspired Nora and made her realize she is not just a little squirrel. If she did have communication with her children, I think that would make everything  harder. I think it would somewhat encourage Torvald to try to rebuild their marriage, and from the looks of it, Nora does not really want that. I do believe Nora is better off without Torvald treating her like a child, and I think her moving on with her life was the best decision. However, I do not believe she should have abandoned her children. But I also don't think Nora would have made a very good mother either.
