The reason why Nora left her home, even the children behind, is because, as she said in not so many words, in trying to be everyone's trophy, she forgot herself.
After the hard blow that came in the shape or her husband's complete disregard of her sacrifice, Nora had finally come to terms with the fact that she had been an object her entire life.
Who was she now that she could no longer be an object? That was the question that would be extremely hard to answer, especially after you have lived your entire life for everyone but yourself.
Nora had the quintessential reality check that she had suspected, denied, hidden from, and disguised in many ways throughout her life: She knew she had a certain potential to do for herself, but she also suspected that her role was not to be a hero, but a form of pleasure giver. This was the poignant moment when she realized she could be neither.
It was so intense, that she decided to cut ties with everything she knew, and her life as she knew it. For the first time, she would finally learn who is really Nora.
