Act Uno

       A Doll's house! It's getting so good especially it being read in period 6 by the best Nora ever. (Me) Anyways Act one had a bit of an umph to it. Its around Christmas Eve, and Torvald is addressing Nora with tenderness. Helmer is such a disrespectful person to Nora, knowing that he doesn't see her as a frivolous individual, but Dehumanizes her by calling her "Squirrel, Skylark, Feather Brain".  Knowing that the real idiot is Helmer himself, not realizing that Nora is squandering money from another person and being corrupt about it, which Torvald surely doesn't or wouldn't like, and this isn't the only time Nora has been "borrowing money". Torvald on the other hand is suppose to get a salary raise, and a promotion for a manager of the bank, but I'm guessing he'd rather start it off in the new year. Of course Nora wants to put her two cents in and says she wants to pay in credit but like Torvald said "a home that depends on loans and debt is not beautiful, because it's not free."


        Nora reminds me of a little child who always tries to be the center of attention, and a very insensitive character. She acts like she's interested in Mrs. Linde's problems but turns the whole situation back to her and Torvald knowing that Mrs. Linde was in need of a job. Mrs. Linde responds to her not having any hardships in her life but Nora gets all defensive and responds saying how she has "something to be proud and happy about"  just because she did one thing by saving her husband's life when he was sick. All in all that doesn't cover the fact that she's lying to Torvald and keeping a secret like this from him, knowing that he "would be so ashamed and humiliated if he thought he owed her anything" I don't care if it may "hurt his pride" you have to have trust in a marriage and tell your significant other about everything. I'd rather Torvald be hurt by the truth than be hurt by a lie.
