Read the passage from Henrik Ibsen's play A Doll’s House. Nora and her husband Torvald Helmer are having a discussion.
Helmer: Still, you know, we can't spend money recklessly.
Nora: Yes, Torvald, we may be a wee bit more reckless now, mayn't we? Just a tiny wee bit! You are going to have a big salary and earn lots and lots of money.
Helmer: Yes, after the New Year; but then it will be a whole quarter before the salary is due.
Nora: Pooh! We can borrow until then.
Helmer: Nora! (goes up to her and takes her playfully by the ear) The same little featherhead! Suppose, now, that I borrowed fifty pounds today, and you spent it all in the Christmas week, and then on New Year's Eve a rock fell on my head and killed me, and—
Nora: (putting her hands over her mouth) Oh! Don't say such horrid things.

Answer:
The phrase which supports the theme is:
"The same little featherhead!"
Explanation:
The play "A Doll's House" is about the condition of the women in Victorian society. Nora was not treated equally by her husband, Torvald. He treats Nora like a child and didn't assume her to be capable of taking any decision. He thinks that she is a spendthrift and was unable to take any decision about her or her family.
