Reading Act I gave me mixed emotions/thoughts. I understand that Nora has betrayed her husband by borrowing money. What I don't get is why she said that their trip to Italy "saved" her husband. Saved him from what? Also, I find her relationship with Torvald to be funny. It's as though Torvald is her father. The way he talks to her, and the way she talks to him gives me the impression of a father-daughter relationship. Except that in this particular relationship, the daughter is quite annoying. If I were Torvald, I would have left her a while back. Nora's character when she's with him is just too much. But then again, that's just me.
As for this whole blackmailing situation between Krogstad and Nora...I think it's stupid. Krogstad is being a hypocrite in a way. He's forged a signature before, so he should be understanding as to why Nora forged her father's.
Just because I read her part, Mrs. Linde is my favorite character.
Nora, stop trying to be slick and play both sides of the field. You're bound to get caught.
I feel the only reason that Nora acts the way she does toward her,"husband", is to give him some type of entitlement, to make him feel good for himself considering how much she has actually done to,"save", her husband. Nora wants Torvald to play the stereotypical man role.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dockett because Nora is pretty much Torvalds little PUNK! I mean what wife saves her husbands life and is afraid to tell him how she did it?!?!?! WHATT!!!
ReplyDeleteI read Mrs.Linde part, too. I agree with what you said about Torvalds and Nora's relationship. I think its kinda cute how he calls her animals names.
