ACT 1 post

Okay. So act 1 was definitely full of a lot of drama, arguments, and blackmailing.  It seems to me like Nora is just the center of attention in this play.  She has problems with Krogstad, lies to her husband, and is a little flirt.  She just seems to cause more trouble as the play keeps going on.  Nora is also very foolish and inconsiderate.  For example, Mrs. Linde talks about how her husband left her with no children.  Nora then proceeds to talk about how she has 3 magnificent children and this and that. She did not have to say that and I believe it was pretty rude.

I believe that Nora should just knuckle up and tell her husband that she borrowed the money from Krogstad.  It may be hard to him to take in but if he were a true husband, he would understand that she did it out of care for him.  He should consider the fact that she needs him and that is why she borrowed the money to save his life.  Also, how could you possibly be mad that your wife borrowed money to save your life.  Nora is paying it off anyway and has no problems other than the fact that Krogstad is blackmailing her.  I believe all of the problems in the play with be solved if

-Nora finally tells her husband the truth.

-Torvald lets Krogstad keep his job.

-Krogstad stops being so bitter and blackmailing Nora.

Torvald stops treating Nora like such a little child.
