Act 1

     Now that act 1 is over, some of the characters personalities were pretty interesting. My first thought was that Nora was so greedy because of the "money situation". She always got money from Torvald's advancement at the bank. We thought she was spending it on frivolous things, but now that we know the truth I feel different. Torvald on the other hand is still rude to Nora. "Has my little feather brain been wasting money again?" He doesn't talk to her with any respect. Torvald calls her a feather brain as if she was nothing.
     What bothered me the most was the way Nora interacted with Mrs. Linde. Nora was ravishing on about  how lucky she was and how perfect her life was. "My mother was still alive; she was bedridden and helpless, and I had my two younger brothers to look after - I didn't feel I could refuse his offer." Mrs. Linde or Kristina, as Nora calls her, told Nora how hard her life was. All Nora could do was talk about herself and how she got money from her dad or Torvald. If I was Mrs. Linde I would have just left and would have ignored Nora. I would have even went off on her. I thought it was rude that all Nora talked about was how good her life was when Mrs. Linde needed her to listen and possibly give her advice. What do you think about Nora and Kristina's interaction?

  1. I agree with you 100%, as if Nora had something to prove. She couldn't wait until Mrs.Linde would stop talking so she could be gloating about how she won't have any worries soon because of Torvalds new job. How ironic. But I also feel as if Nora brings it upon herself for Torvald to treat her like he does. Like when she said a man could do a job better than a women could.

  3. I agree. Nora is selfish and sort of obnoxious in my opinion.
