Act III Finished

Last blog for a doll house. This has been an ardous experience but beneficial. So in Act 3 Helmer finds Dr. Rank's note and becomes furious at Nora saying that she will destroy HIS family and HIS reputation. Next, Mrs. Linde and Krogstad got together and Krogstad felt sorry for Nora and Helmer and puts a note in their mailbox. Later, he finds Krogstad's letter and praises her like he's glad that no one will see Nora's "mistake". Nora realizes how Torvald doesn't know her that her father acted the same way he does and she became so used to the way she was treated that it became her life supressing her true feeling which was the same way she taught her children. Now she coulden't take it and had to let herself go. Nora leaves him and the children at the end, Torvald begs her to stay and she says Mrs. Linde will take her stuff the next day and she will never see him unless they both change.

Torvald was very supressing he was self-centered only caring for himself. Nora did well at the end and now she left to grow and find herself. Mrs. Linde and Krogstad are together but the negatives are Dr. Rank (in my opinion should be with Nora) dies... eventually. Also Nora left Helmer although, he did deserve it.

The End

Act II

Now as the story progresses we find out that Mrs. Linde now knows what occured between Nora and Krogstad. Also, that Krogstad has the letter in the mail box. In Act II we also see Dr. Rank speak with underlying intolerable emotions. Nora seems to flirt with Dr. Rank at the start, I feel that Torvald is like another father figure to Nora while Nora seems to have some love for Krogstad. The supence increses and the plot is getting even thicker! The character Torvald seems to think that women are a trophy. Something to be used, he seems to dislike Nora's family. He wants to keep up with his reputation, he wants his life to seem perfect like a doll house. Although, in order to do this he controls everything. With Nora the problems just seem to keep piling up and get further tangled with the othr characters.

Act I

The plot is very how should I say this... "thick" it's full of problems for the main character Nora, she is very frivolous and has many problems which she has to fix while going against her husband. In my opinion she is digging herself deeper and deeper into trouble. Nora struggles to fix debt and she seems to be air- headed and frivolous, she takes on more problems like getting Mrs. Linde work. Similarly to people during this recession and she is unable to handle herself. She is like a child she treats life like a doll house playing with her children and being oblivious to life's problems and pushing things off. Her life is all over the place it's hard to explain her.
Now her husband Torvald reminds me of Caesar he this he is doing his best for the family while he is betrayed by family. Nora is similar to Brutus thinking that they are doing the best for their loves even though it may not be morally correct. Lastly, Krogstad is similar to Cassius spoiling Brutus (Nora) and causing pain to Trorvald.
Act I is a little "strong" it isn't very gradual it jumps right into it. We first meet the couple Torvald and Nora. Torvald is very stingy about money and as stated before Nora is frivolous. He guards her, he is slightly dominant over Nora. Although, behind his back she saved his life but in the process borrows and forges which would cause Torvald to incredulously gasp.

My 1st Blog Assignment

Yay! My first blog, so the author of the play "A Doll's House" is a Norwegian play originally titled "Et dukkehjem" is a 1879 play written by Henrik Ibsen. Henrik Ibsen was born on March 20, 1828 in Skien, Nowrway. His writings went against Victorian values and were revolutionary. He had a depressing childhood losing his father, and also his mother to a depression and moved on to theathre. He assisted in the production of about 145 plays and later wrote controvaersial plays. He also married and had an average life until May 23, 1906 where he died to a series of strokes.
I think he entitled the play "A Doll's House" because it shows the average household, how women have "set" responsibilities. Like how the household is like a doll's house everything looks perfect but the women are tired of having set "woman responsibilities."
