Question

hobner: what sort of an expression is that to use about our marriage?
nora undisturbed: i mean that i was simply transferred from papas hands into yours. you arranged everything according to your own taste, and so i got the same tastes as you-or else i pretended to, i am really not quite sure which-i think sometimes the one and sometimes the other. when i look back on it, it seems to me as if i had been living here like a poor woman-just from hand to mouth. i have existed merely to perform tricks for you, torvald. but you would have it so. you and papa have committed a great sin against me. it is your fault that i have made nothing of my life.

Explanation:

• "I was simply transferred from papa’s hands into yours" shows Nora was passed like an object, no real control over her life, indicating an oppressed state.
• "I had been living here like a poor woman" implies a lack of fulfillment as she lived in a subservient way.
• "I have existed merely to perform tricks for you" shows she was treated as a plaything, not a person with her own life, which is an oppressed and unsatisfying existence.
• "It is your fault that I have made nothing of my life" indicates she was prevented (oppressed) from having a meaningful life.
• "How unreasonable and how ungrateful you are" is just an accusation, not related to the theme of oppressed living unsatisfying lives.

Answer:

"I was simply transferred from papa’s hands into yours.", "I had been living here like a poor woman.", "I have existed merely to perform tricks for you.", "It is your fault that I have made nothing of my life."
