What do you think of torvald's nicknames for nora? are they sweet endearments, words that belittle her as a person, or both?

In "The Doll House", I first thought  Torvald was being a really nice husband who truly loves his wife and calls her with sweet nicknames. But I then realized when he calls her "little featherhead" and other terms, the author wants to show Torvald believes he has a tendency to overpower Nora. Torvakd belittles her capabilities with his nicknames just because his wife is a woman and should depend on him. 

France played a key role in the american revolutionary war (american war of independence; 1775–1783). motivated by the ideals of the new nation which were inspired by the french enlightenment, as well as its long-term rivalry with britain and so as to avenge their territorial losses during the french and indian war, france secretly began sending supplies to the americans in 1775.
