Homework for May 26

To start off The Dolls House takes place around Christmas time in the late 1800s I believe. The Helmers seem wealthy or at least middle class. Its becoming an interesting play to act out. The characters add a good mood to the play though. Some of the main characters to know would be Nora shes the type of person that seizes any opportunity to get money from her husband. To me she is a gold digger and is in it for the money. This is wrong of her but smart when it helps her husband out in the end. In my opinion she is an immature woman almost like a teenager its like she has no life experience and is used to being spoiled. The only thing she has done in my eyes that was good is using her ravishing looks to interfere with the laws and save her husband by borrowing money. She is struggling to tell her husband about saving his life and forging her dads signature to borrow money. Another important Character is Torvald Helmer Nora's husband. He just got a promotion at the bank he works at and he is the dominant one in the relationship. To me i think he needs to be more controlling over where his money goes and what it goes to. Even if he doesn't know it saved his life. Next there is Krogstad the lawyer and the reason Nora could save her husband. He is trying to cope with telling Nora's husband and the authorities about their transaction and the forgery Dr. Rank is Torvald's best friend. The last important character so far is Mrs. Linde a widower and Nora's new friend.

This play is almost like my brothers gift to my mom that was to pay for her surgery behind her back she still doesn't know and wont I know its a bit personal but the only connection I have made to my life at this point. In my opinion it is starting to become a good play and should get better . Why should Nora hide the truth from her husband? Do you thing Krogstad will cause a big issue later to come?

this shows her obsession with money and her selfish ways.

  1. I agree with what you're saying.

    But don't you think Krogstad wants more than the deal? I just have a hunch that he'll cause something mischievous.

  3. I agree with what u are saying but I thinks that Krogstad is going to tell torvald about what Nora did to save his life. I hope Krogstad does say anything because it might just make things worst between Nora and Torvalds relationship.
