  Act 1


       Act 1 has now come to an end. My opinion on "A Dolls House" is thats its pretty good. The main characters so far are Helmer and his wife Nora. My personal opinion on Nora is that she comes across very conceded she's all into herself and how perfect she is. I also feel as if Nora is very frivolous because she doesn't really have a purpose or value, she doesn't work and she has a nanny take care of her kids. Her husband Helmer works at a bank and just recently got promoted to bank manager. Helmer and Nora's relationship is not the typical relationship, Helmer treats Nora like a child  he calls her all sorts of names such as Skylark, Scatterbrain, and Squirrel. The household is definitely run by Helmer and everybody follows his strict rules. One of Helmer's rules is that he hates when Nora borrows money from other people. "Nora! Nora! Just like a women! But seriouslyNora you know what i think about that sort of thing, no debts, no borrowing. Theres something constrained, something ugly even, about a home founding on borrowing and debt you and i have managed to have clear up till night, and we shall still so for the little time that we have left". But little does Helmer know a couple years back Nora had to borrow money from Krogstad because she needed to take Helmer to the south of Italy because he was very ill and that was the only way of getting better. Helmer does not like Krogstad because he is a criminal, years back he forged a signature on a legal document. Helmer once said " Many a man can redeem his character if he freely confesses his guilt and takes his punishment". 
         As act 1 is coming to an end. Nora is very scared and  nervous because Nora forged her papas signature on a contract in which she owes money to krogstad due to the trip to italy. Krogstad is now blackmailing Nora, he is telling Nora that she has to persuade her husband Helmer to let him keep his job at the bank and if not she will tell Helmer. Nora feels as if she is corrupting her children's minds if this gets out. Nora will be known as the next criminal if this secret is leaked. 
        I wonder if Nora's secret will get out? 
        If so i wonder how Helmer is going to react to it?  


    Stay tuned...see what happens next...

I agree with what you said about how Nora is very frivolous and how Torvald does all the hard work. I think that Nora's secret will eventually get out but she will keep it in for as long as she needs too. Torvald will probably have mixed feelings about it but disappointed that she kept this big thing from him for so long.
