Act II

    After reading Act I , I knew there was going to be more interesting things to discover in Act II but I didn't think they'd be this jaw dropping. The part where Dr. Rank , Helmers BESTfriend confessed his love for Nora completely threw me off guard. " Nora--do you think he is the only," "The only one who would gladly give his life for your sake."(Ibsen 194) . To me as a reader you could feel the awkwardness especially  once Nora asks to bring the lamp in for lighting. "Helena, bring in the lamp" (Ibsen 195) . I just found it so funny and ironic how she was at first flirting with him to try and get him to help her get Krogstad to leave her alone and then BAM , he tells her he loves her and she's like Ahh, awkward never mind then ... 

   Act II is filled with secrets and love. Krogstad blackmailing Nora to tell her husband everything she did in a letter in order to get his job back? Like woah there buddy , it really isn't that serious. Then again I guess I can see why he needed this advantage. It Is kinda annoying tho, to me , like hello you're not going to get your job back ever. Helmer does not like you , he already fired  you , honestly what is putting Nora on blast going to do? Magically change Torvalds mind and give him his job back? Sabotaging their marriage is only going make Torvald dislike Krogstad more , whether he's mad at Nora or not . And since when did Kristina know Krogstad so well to the point where she offers to help Nora so confidently with her situation? 

  Silly me , thinking that this was enough drama for act II , we find out Nora wants to commit suicide to avoid her problems. Which is really weird and ironic in a way because she just told Kristina that a miracle was going to come out of this. "How should you understand it? A wonderful thing is going

to happen!" (Ibsen )  If a miracles coming why think of suicide ? Maybe I'm the only one that's thinking like this , this play just really has my head swirling in different directions and constantly has me asking questions. I've never been more excited to read something like I have this. 

   

ACT I

     In act 1, there are a lot of drama and interesting parts. Nora has a problem squandering  her money, or the money her husband Torvald gives her on things she really doesn't need . Torvald looks at his wife Nora as a " feathered brain " or "scattered brain" meaning he basically doesn't find his wife in the same level of intelligence as he is; " Nora, Nora just  like a woman !" . Everyone around Nora looks at her as a problem-less little child that doesn't know how to do anything on her own. While reading Act I I've come to the conclusion that  Nora is nothing more but a clever manipulative liar. 

    She has a big secret from her husband and her childhood friend Mrs.Linde . While Torvald thinks Nora got the money for their trip from her father , Mrs.Linde thinks Nora actually came up with all the money herself , when in reality she borrowed money from a lawyer Krogstad that works with Helmer and  has a bad reputation of forging a  signature and that her husband  is not fond of at all.  

     Nora reminds me alot of Sasha Uskov. Especially since they share the same similarity of forging a signature. They're also alike because neither Nora or Sasha had parents to raise them and teach them whats right and whats wrong. They both show a very noncaring attitude about their actions and pretty much show that they can do whatever they please and not pay for any consequences.
