A Doll"s House Prolouge

Earlier we were asked if we thought that Torvald ever figured out what Nora wanted and if so would they get back together? From what I read in A Doll's House it seemed highly unlikely that Torvald would ever change. When Nora admitted to him about the loan he was very worried about his own reputation being tarnished and felt as though she was nothing to him but a disgrace. In the end I kept wondering if he actually was sincere about wanting Nora to stay or was he only begging her to do so because he was once again worried about how he would be viewed by those around him. I think it is unlikely that he would change for anyone but himself and that Nora mattered only to him as a trophy. Even if he did change for her I highly doubt that they would get back together their relationship would have any real substance. In the end they would likely have to revisit the same arguments and the "happily ever after" that they both believed in would never manifest.
