All the television I watch, the books I read and the music I listen to have relationship issues portrayed in them. Relationships and problems with relationships are shown everywhere today. Divorce and separation are such common issues, that many teenage television shows and movies consider everyday problems that occur in a relationship. There is a television show, One Tree Hill, which constantly illustrates issues with relationships. In one instance, there is a married couple that becomes separated after many years together and after having a child together. Although they had married at a young age, they did believe they were in love at one point. But Dan, the husband, acted in a way that showed his wife, Deb, that she did not really know him anymore. The couple eventually separated because they could not live their lives together anymore. After reading A Doll’s House, I noticed a connection between the couple from One Tree Hill and Torvald and Nora Helmer. At the end of the play, Torvald acts in a way that shows Nora she really did not love him anymore and she cannot stay in a marriage with him anymore. Like Deb in One Tree Hill, Nora considered her husband a stranger because of his recent actions. Because their entire relationship was full of lies, Nora needed to escape it in order to find who she really is.
