Doll House Questions for Act 2

1. Nora is now more anxious and worried than she was in Act 1. Nora believes that Torvald would never find out her secret, but now that he is firing Krogstad so that Mrs.Linde can work, she's more afraid and more protective over her lie.
- Nora tells and begs Torvald to let Krogstad keep his job.
- Krogstad wants to letter to get Nora introuble and for him to keep his job
- Mrs.Linde writes him a note and wants to talk with him to change his mind.

3. The "miracle" might be that Torvald will give Krogstad his job and Nora's secret wont be blurted out. Another "miracle" I thought might be was that Krogstad might've not put the letter in the mail for Torvald to See.

4. Krogstad says that Torvald has, "forced me back to my old ways." Torvald is not really responsible for his actions because it's basically all Nora's fault in the first place. Krogstad knows what Nora did and he's using that against her because he doesn't want to lose his job and he will do whatever it takes to keep it. The reason why he is losing his job is because of Nora's begging to help find Mrs.Linde a job.

6.If Nora wasn't so stubborn and accepted help from Rank, I feel like Nora and Torvald would be okay. Nora keeping a hgue secret is driving her crazy. Torvald could most likely be very appreciative for Nora becaue she saved his life knowing that she could get in serioustrouble by forgeing her father's signature. If she let Rank help, she would've been out of this mess a long time ago.

8. I think people can learn for Ibsen's portryal of Nora and Torvald's relationship by learning how to trust and communicate. For love, you'd do anything to make it work. It shows that being secretive can and will get you in trouble. Be loyal, and share money. Love your life and your familly. "Fight for what you love."

Doll House Questions for Act 1

1. My thoughts towards the end of the story were crazy. There was a lot of shady lies, and going behind each other's backs to make someone happy. I thought that Nora was such a money spender.

- The good news is that Torvald is the new bank manager.

- Nora raised the money by forging her father's signature on a bank loan after he passed away.

- Krogstad threatened Nora because he doesn't want to lose his job and since Nora's husband is the manager of Krogstad, he will do anything it takes to keep his job.

 

 

 

3. Nora is Torvald's whipped wife. She does everything and anything for Torvald. He calls her little names like a squirrell and some type of bird, i think its a "little lark." Shes money hungry and she always wants to be in control of everything but she can't. Torvald knows that she spends her money constantly and that's why she get's mad that she can't spend the money. When Torvald isn't present, she becomes shady and talks about things that she hasn't even had the guts to tell Torvald.

 

 

 

4. Nora's strenght is her children...Other than that, she has none. She spends her money easily, she let's her husband control her, and she lies. She is so shady that she has no strengths. It's all weaknesses.

 

 

 

5. Mrs. Linde might be a foil towards Nora because they are the complete opposite and have different beliefs. Nora thinks it's okay to constantly spend money and she thinks that it is okay to keep a secret from her husband, unlike Mrs. Linde who would die to have her money saved to support herself and her family. Mrs. Linde tells Nora that she should be lucky she has a husband, a husband that will work, has children. Mrs. Linde is widowed with no money and no children.

 

 

 

7. Fear is an obsticle that prevents people from understanding what is going on in their own lives. Or the fact that they're too wraped up into their ownselves to even think about their significant other. In Nora's case, she did something that most women would do if their husbands were dying. She took money out of the bank, forgeing her father's signature. She doesn't seem to think that spending money is a problem, but her husband does and she doesn't see why. She could be saving money for her children instead of spending it on foolish junk.

Nora from the Doll House

Nora is a woman who is known as a "spendthrift" she is so money hungry and everytime she has money she has to spend it. She is always obedient to her Husband Torvald who likes to think of her as a "sweet little lark" and a squirrel. She is very annoying and talks a lot. She thinks she can be in charge but can't, for example, she wants to be the one to take care of the money, but really it's the husband that does so.  She loves her family and only wants the best for them. Well i don' know what else to write, that's all i can think of. 

Childhood Memory

I remember in sixth grade i become so angry at a girl because she always thought she was better than everyone else. She used to be my best friend growing up, we were inseparable. Then one day at recess she really got me mad so i threw a basketball at her head. I got detention for it, and i knew it wasn't the right thing to do. I was an angry kid growing up because of the way my parents acted towards me. After i sat and thought about what i did i went to her and apologized and explained to her why i was so upset. I personally don't think it was all my fault. I don't blame my parents either. I blame the way i handle things. But now i know how to control myself and speak up. I'm not afraid to talk and i don't hold everything in. That's all i can really remember.
