Natural Mothers“It seems most commonly the influence of the mother, though of course that of a bad father would have the same result.” (A Doll House, 70) In this quote, Torvald from Henrik Ibsen's A Doll House talks about Krogstad being a liar and states that almost all criminals have had lying mothers. The protagonist, Nora, feels very guilty because she is hiding a secret from her family. In life, women naturally determine whether they are good or bad mothers. In two different jobs these two women chose one or the other. In A Doll House, by Henrik Ibsen, Nora is naturally a good mother. She loves, cares for, and enjoys spending time with her three children. In Madame Bovary, by Gustave Flaubert, Emma is a bad mother. She is a careless and inattentive mother who loves her son when she feels like it. In these two works, the two female protagonists express themselves differently since mothers are naturally good at acting or at least try to do so. Nora Helmer is naturally a mother who shows a lot of love, care and loves to spend quality time with her three children, Ivar. , Bob and Emmy. At the beginning of the show, Nora brings a Christmas tree to her house and hides it from her children until it is decorated. Nora also buys a new dress and sword for Ivar; a horse and a trumpet for Bob; a doll and a doll bed for Emmy as a Christmas present. (45) Torvold says he can't wait to dine at Fernandez 2 in the evening, Nora adds: “Me too! And how the children will have fun, Torvald!» (47) Nora always worries and has her three loving children on her mind. “How fresh and fit you are! Cheeks so red as apples and roses. [The children all talk together as she talks to them.] You had... middle of paper... she would be a good mother or at least try, but other times she would say, "Strange," thought Emma, ​​"how much it is ugly Fernandez 4 this little girl" (109) Emma is a false mother, every time she wants to love and show affection she does so, but when she was busy shopping or having business Berthe ignored her or thought badly of her. This concludes both the work A Doll House and Madame Bovary that some mothers are simply good and naturally bad. Women all over the world can be like Nora, a naturally good mother who loves, spends time and would do what is best for her children even if they are in difficult situations like her who hides the secret of the loan. Unfortunately, some women who are bad mothers by nature, like Emma, ​​are neglectful, inattentive, and try to love their children whenever they want. These two female protagonists are examples of how women are different as mothers.
