I read this play a couple of years ago, and Nora's decision stayed in the back of my mind for a long time. After years of ruminating on the final scene of the play, I came to the conclusion that she was right. I watched the play recently with my wife, and she did not agree at all with Nora's decision. She didn’t entertain her actions with any sort of sympathy and said it was simply wrong to leave her family. This made me re-examine how I view the ending, but I still feel Nora was right. Then I realized I have never seen a post here about it, so what do you guys think?

I'm re-reading the play now and I'm trying to work my way through Ibsen
I read Pillars of the Community which was pretty good and the ending was ridiculous
Anyway I've only re-read act 1 so far but based on my previous read I think it's obvious that Nora's decision to abandon her kids is a terrible one but one that you can sympathise with
Her life is a tragedy
