Act III Ending Continuation

Continuation to the Ending of Act III: 

[Nora, walking away from the house, actually realizing what she has done.] 

NORA: I cannot believe what I have done, I have made the decision to leave Torvald and my children.[Rethinking what she has done.] Is this really what I want to do. Do I want to leave my children and not speak to them ever again? Will they ever talk to me after I just stormed out without saying anything to them? I don't know if this is the right thing for me to do now that I've thought about it. I can hear the children now just asking Torvald where I am, "Daddy, where has mama gone, she always wakes us up in the morning." 

[Torvald thing to himself of what he will do without her] 

HELMER: What am I going to do without my little skylark [Getting louder and louder while also trying to not wake up the children.] NORA! Come back, I don't know what I will do without you! 

[With that, the front door is quickly opened.]

Act II

In this act, things are a little different between all of the characters. We find out that Mrs. Linde had a "thing" with Krogstad in that past where he would do anything for her at one point, but she ended up leaving him for a man that has more money because she had to take care of her family. That man ended up passing away and she became a widow. Mrs. Linde was able to find out what happened to Nora, she knew just from her face that Krogstad just left a letter with everything that happened so Torvald knows. "Nora, I can see by your face that there's a letter from him already,"(Ibsen 205). Torvald, even with the strange relationship that Nora and him have, he is still able to find out what he wants to know. He just doesn't know like us what has happened to Nora between her and Krogstad.

"There may be - I don't know. But you mustn't read anything like that now; we won't let anything horrid between us till this is all over,"(Ibsen 205). Nora was extremely worried when Torvald realized that she had something wrong. She was afraid that the relationship between herself and Torvald won't be the same after he reads the letter because of what she did and how she got the money. After what Mrs Linde said, this may be her "miracle" because she is overreacting and Torvald might realize that she did all of the stuff she did for him. Hopfully she won't actually kill herself like she says at the end of the act because that would be a very dramatic ending.

But it would be entertaining...

Act I

In "A Doll's House," Act I we were able to meet most of the characters if not all of them that are in the play. We were able to meet the main character in the play which is Nora. Nora is a person who makes herself not seem as smart as she really is, she hides her feelings and thoughts from her husband Torvald. Nora acts like a very jauntily person when she is talking about herself with her friend, Mrs. Kristina Linde. Mrs. Linde is a friend of Nora who is now a widow and has come to see Nora and Torvald to see if she could get a job at the bank that Torvald works at. Torvald actually just got a promotion of bank manager at the bank where he works. Nora has a weird relationship with her husband, it seems to be more of a father daughter relationship. He would always say,"Little Nora, are you really going to let that happen?" He would always treat her like a little girl.

Later on in the story, Nora get a visit from Krogstad who was a lawyer who had a position at the bank that Torvald worked at. He was a afraid that he was intolerable compared to Mrs. Linde. He thought that if Nora persuaded Torvald to give Mrs. Linde a job, he would lose his position and would be replaced by her. He threatens Nora that he will tell Torvald and everyone else he knows that he was the one that gave her money and that in order to get the money, she forged her fathers signature who was actually dead when the signature was dated, that's how Krogstad found out. So he told her to convince Torvald to let him keep his position or he will tell that secret. Soon Torvald comes back after Krogstad leaves and he talks to her to see if she is okay and she tells her what Krogstad has done in the past in terms of crimes. He says to her,"I tell you, it'd be quite impossible for me to work with hi; when I'm near people like that, I actually feel physically ill." The ironic thing about what he said to Nora is that she lied and she is with him most of the time. She is in excruciating emotional pain because she doesn't know what she will do.

First Post!

Hi, my name James. What I like most about what we have done in our English class so far this year is we have read so many different types of stories. They all have have different themes to them which makes them special in their own ways. The books have some parts in them with those moments where you have to think and maybe read it over again in order understand it. This has definitely made my reading and writing skills better just from the books that we have read so far this year!

The author of "A Doll's House," Henrik Ibsen has had a very interesting life. The play "A Dolls House," is based and has a lot to do with his family. The mother (in the play), moves away from the family. Her reasoning for this is to find out about herself. It's ironic compared to his mother in real life because she sacrificed everything and every point of free time she had to take care of the family. It seems like a reverse of the mother and what she is like in real life.
