Levy’s “naivety” (in her own opinion at least)of what a real marriage is like is totally shattered by what a marriage should be in her own terms. Besides that, Levy really helps the audience receive an image that their relationship (Levy’s and her fiancé) was just like any other one, because they would fight, bicker, and love all at the same time. One particular example of this would be the small scene in which they are picking wedding dresses, and Amy (her fiancé) really sees the wedding as an important piece, therefore she is incredibly picky over Levy’s dress, and generally other elements of the wedding, just like any other couple. Levy stated“ I modeled a low-cut pale-gold dress with spaghetti straps and a gauzy skirt from Mission. ‘Nice!’ said Amy.

On the oppose side of the marital spectrum, Zeena regularly professes her hypochondria to her husband. However, in response to the sledding accident, she “seemed to be raised right up just when the call came to her” (Wharton 131). This ironic “miracle” proves Zeena’s addiction to martyrdom, emotionally dependent on first her illnesses, then to her vocational role.

The presence of guilt has clearly and undeniably manifested itself into the nature of family relationships within both plays. In A Doll's House, Nora's guilt in regards to the crime she committed has accumulated so much so that she is almost 'afraid' of displeasing Torvald over even the smallest of issues. Ibsen has made this evident with the continual reinforcement of the theme of secrecy, which indicates the extent of things Nora keeps hidden from her husband in order to be free of his criticisms. One notable example is the motif of macaroons, in which Nora eats them on various instances but 'stuffs' them away as soon as Torvald arrives. Ibsen further hints towards secrecy within the household when Nora plays hide and seek with her children just before Krogstad, the truthbearer of the play, pays a visit.
