ACT 2  "Doll House"

      In ACT 2 , it almost seem like Nora is all alone and got no one to turn to.It seems like she was ready to kill her self then let her husband take balm.Nora thinks at the end of the party that's will be the end of everything for her .Do you think Nora is like a Trophy wife to him? cause i do .Nora is just worried about her self  and family. Nora is so worried and feel alone she don't even go around her kids . Like when "the nurse says  how the kids have been asking for her then Nora say she will not be able to be with her kids like how it was before "IBSEN .you could tell that Nora was hurt and thinking of doing something when she said "do you think the kids would forget about her if she goes away"IBSEN .the party was like Nora get away for the night. Mrs Liden is a very caring friend .

     I think it would of been nice if Dr.Rank and Nora had something .Cause he seems to care about Nora. he treats Nora way better then her so called husband. Why do you guys think Nora don't seem Nora in that way ? .Would you image if she would of let torvald for Dr. Rank that would of been so shocking . I felt so bad for Nora cause it almost seem like everything was slipping away from here. Well Thur the ACT 1 and ACT 2 torvald is still the same jerk as he was from the start.I just wish he would not treat Nora like that . shes a grown women not his kid .I thought he would of change while we go along and read. Well i was wrong about that for sure .Nora can do so much better in my Eyes and shes really smart too .



 

                                                  ACT ONE- 'Doll House'

          At the being of  the play you would think Nora don't know anything , she foul Torvalds with this too. Cause she  know about business and stuff if she got a loan without Torvalds knowing .Torvalds treat Nora like his child. Like when he said "if she gave into her sweet tooth  ".He wants to make sure that Nora stay pretty and he also thinks she not smart like when he say "is it my little squirrel bustling about” Torvalds  is the bread winner in the family .i think Nora is intelligent and she know how to use torvald for things. she acts like she don't know anything when shes around him. she was willing to break the law in order to make sure of  Torvald’s health and that  shows her courage.Torvald embraces the belief that a man’s role in marriage is to protect and guide his wife. He clearly enjoys the idea that Nora needs his guidance, and he treat her like a father would.  “A home that depends on loans and debt is not beautiful because it is not free.”




           Krogstad he wants to keep his job at the bank so this can explain his behavior . Nora and Krogstad have committed the same crime: forgery of signatures. Christine Linde An old family friend of Nora's, Christine is a widow.Dr. Rank A family friend of the Helmers. ANNE The children's nurse."One day I might, yes. Many years from now, when I’ve lost my looks a little. Don’t laugh. I mean, of course, a time will come when Torvald is not as devoted to me, not quite so happy when I dance for him, and dress for him, and play with him".that quote mean.Nora describes to Mrs. Linde  how  she would consider telling Torvald about the secret loan she took in order to save his life.  she might consider telling him when she gets older and loses her attractiveness is important because it shows that Nora has a sense of the true nature of her marriage

akelia , H/W ... on doll house

Well so far out of all the things we did , i really enjoyed the making the puzzle piece. Henrik grew up in a  Norwegian coastal town of Skein as the oldest of five children born to Knud and Marichen Ibsen. His father was a great  merchant and his mother painted, played the piano and loved to go to the theater and  Ibsen became interest in becoming an artist.When he was 8 his family was throw into poverty cause of his dad job.they had moved to some old farm land, and all ibsen really did was paint and read .When he was 15 he stop going to school and began  working. Ibsen had meant the  theater manager Ole Bull. Bull liked Ibsen and offered him a job as a writer and manager for the Norwegian Theatre in Bergen. His birthday was March 20th and he die on May 20th.In 1891, Ibsen returned to Norway as a literary hero.In 1900, Ibsen had a series of strokes so he did not really  write anymore . He managed to live for several more years, but he was not really his self time  being .He also had two kids one with a maid and the next with his wife Suzannah Daae Thoresen. Ibsen  never met with his other son that he had with the maid . I think this play might be about how a family or couple can look so prefect on the on outside like a doll house then on the inside is a totally mess. Maybe its a couple and one of them treat the other like a doll only love them for they looks dress them up etc.I think the them would be about money, love, family , lies , and marriage
