At the end of Act 2 ,I realized lots of drama continued and other odd romantic attractions started. To begin with Nora flirts with Dr. Rank who is not only friends with Torvald but also Dr. Rank is secretly in love with her. Nora on the other hand does not have any feelings for him, or so she says. Afterward, when Dr. Rank spills out his love for her and he asks if he should "leave for good". He mistakes her affection towards him as actual feelings. In my opinion, I feel as if she hurt him but she is too oblivious to actually see it. She is too blinded by the lies she has surrounded her and her life with. Soon after,the situation becomes more intolerable when she has a conversation with Krogstad. They constantly bicker at each other about how Torvald will never find out about the money, which maybe he will. When one thing leads to another. she says she has the courage to commit suicide so if Torvald does find out she won't have to deal with the consequences. In my opinion, Nora is blundered. She continues to make careless mistakes without even knowing the consequences in the end. If she never started her life out with a lie, she wouldn't be suffering in certain situations. Soon enough. Mrs. Linde helps Nora out by talking to Krogstad for her. This helps Nora distract Torvald form seeing the letter Krogstad left in the box. Nora decides to screw up the tarantella so Torvald can't see the letter. Continuously, Nora counts down her time before she dies. If Nora told the truth from the beginning, do you still think Krogstad would of still got back at her for taking his money?
If Nora told Helmer what she did in the first time then none of this would have happen if Krogstad wasn't really childish on telling Helmer then Nora would feel calmer and would pay Krogstad his money she owes. Or maybe Helmer would have paid if She told him.
ReplyDeleteIf Nora told Helmer the truth Krogstad won't have any blackmail material. Helmer would probably pay him the rest of the money but still fire him from the bank.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your opinion on how Nora seems very immature and has made careless mistakes without knowing the consequences. Throughout the whole story Nora seems very childish and tries to maneuver herself in a position where she isn’t to blame for her actions. I understand your point of view on Nora’s idea of committing suicide. Nora has obviously made “many” mistakes and feels the right way to solve her problem is suicide and see this decision as courageous. When in fact the courageous way to solve her problem is to man up and tell Torvald herself.
ReplyDeleteIf Nora told the truth from the beginning, I think Krogstad would have still blackmailed to tell everyone if he didn't get what he wanted from the Torvald. On the other hand Torvald could have payed off Krogstad then making everything he had over them invalid.
ReplyDeleteKnowing Krogstad he probably would want to get back at Nora for taking his money, but then again the only thing he wants is to fix things and get his job back. So I don't think he will even if he wanted to because he already has a bad reputation that he's trying to fix.
ReplyDeleteI commented on Jose, Anthony, Garrick, and Hailey's blog.
ReplyDeleteI believe Krogstad would had left Nora alone because he was just trying to use her as a way to keep his job. With Torvold knowing what she did it would be pointless.
ReplyDeletei agree with you were Nora was being very immature and how she was making careless mistakes and and not stopping herself before she dose a crazy thing which can hurt her or family.
