Act 2

In Act 2, I definitely saw a change in Nora. Nora always seems so selfish no matter what she does. In Act 2 she seems to be very helpless and not very bright. Her husband Torvald seems to like that she shows a helpless appearance. I do not think that Torvald really loves this woman at all; I think that he loves the way he lives with her.

In Act 2, Dr. Rank and Nora seem to get very friendly. I think that Torvald and Nora are lacking the affection and closeness in their relationship and Nora feels more relaxed with Dr. Rank. Although, Nora may be closer to Dr. Rank, she definitely flirts way too much with him and seems to have lead him on. I believe Nora is very cruel for leading him on and then in the end he tells her he loves her. The really sad part is when Nora speaks with Kristina about how she dreams an older man will love her so much and give her all this money before he dies.

Somehow I think Nora means Dr. Rank when she talks to Kristina about the older man. I think that Nora was lacking the attention she needed from her husband. Nora is also just a constant mess because she never knows what she wants and she is definitely very dumb. I believe it's absolutely pathetic that she thinks of killing herself over letter. Nora needs to grow up and learn how to deal in my opinion.

Act 1

Act I was sort of hard to understand. Nora was very different in each of her times with different people. Nora seems to be some one who lives her life by lies. I believe there is no trust in the relationship between Nora and Torvald. If Nora truly wants to live a good life she will then need to be able to trust her husband.

Torvald treats his wife like she is very petty. It seems as if Nora makes herself feel good when her husband treats her the way he does. Nora also always talks about how she needs her husband yet she made one of the biggest decisions in her life all on her own. Ms. Linde seems as if she has an idea that what Nora told her is a lie yet she continues to follow her. When Nora speaks to Krogstad, she makes it seem as if she knows what shes talking about but she really doesn't. Nora really needs to get herself together but she is a complete mess.

To be honest if I was a person like Nora it would be very stressful to live. I would never want to live the way Nora lives. She is very gullible and seems to be very obnoxious. If it was up to me I would totally let her husband know the secrets.

First Post!

Well this is my first blog. I am not quite sure what to write about but basically, I'm seventeen years old and I love music and books can be really interesting. I usually spend most of my time with my friends and just all together being out of the house. What I can say that I've liked the most about our English class is that it is not normal. It's all over the place but that makes it interesting and it gets the overall job done of being a sophomore English class.

Hendrik Ibsen was born in Skien, Norway on March 20, 1828. He was the second of six children and is also known as the father of modern prose drama. Hendrik lived a poor life from the age of eight because his father went bankrupt. Ibsen was married in 1858 and believed that he and his wife should live as freely equal human beings. It is said that you can see this concept in his play A Doll's House.
