matt act 1

In act 1 the setting starts off with Nora finding herself in a major amount of trouble. She borrows money from a munipulative Krogstad. She starts off trying to save her husband's life by borrowing money which at this time period was frowned upon by others. In order to have the money loaned to her she would need her father's signature. However her father ends up dying and finds herself desperate to pay off the medical bills. Then she finds that her last resort is to forge her father's signature. Krogstad then suspects of her wrongdoing and confronts her.

I feel that Nora is sort of cluless about stuff and that she doesn't think things through to find the best way to accomplish something. However, I feel that Krogstad is munipulative because he blackmailed her that if he didn't get the job her would reveal the truth to her husband. He also says that he wants her to make sure Mrs. Linde didn't get the job because that position was the only thing left he had. In addition, I feel that Mr. Helmer doesn't deserve what Nora is doing for him because he treats her as if she is useless, and incapable of doing anything.

  1. I actually agree with what you're saying Matt. Nora is quite mentally clumsy, yet her husband doesn't respect her enough to compare each other as equals.
