Act one

In Act one of A Doll's House, one of the character that got me interested was Nora. She was Torvald Helmer's caring wife and a mother of his children. Helmer treats Nora as a child like, innocent wife who should only look ravishing for him, which she really doesn't mind. Nora kept secrets away from Helmer such as the macaroons and how she managed to help travel to Italy by borrowing money because of his illness. Nora borrowed from Krogstad an employee at the bank. However, Torvald is very reluctant about borrowing money even though his life is in danger. Like really, your life is in danger and your gonna be stubborn about it,but why all the way to Italy.  "Nora, Nora! Just like a woman! But seriously, Nora, you know what I think about that sort of thing. No debts, no borrowing. There's something constrained, something ugly even, about a home that's founded on borrowing and debt."(page 149) 

Nora has been telling lies and is making everyone look like a fool. In Helmer's eyes he sees Nora as a frivolous wife who just likes to squander on useless things. "It's a sweet little bird, but it gets through a terrible amount of money. You wouldn't believe how much it costs a man when he's got a little song bird like you!" ( page 151). If Torvald was to find out about Nora borrowing money, their relationship would definitely change because Torvald is a prides man with a big ego. Especially the fact that Nora committed forgery that will make him believe that if a mother is incredulous then the children will too. But I don't think so, sometimes a child wants to be different from their parents, maybe even better. Oh yeah about Mrs. Linde she came to Nora for help to get job from Torvald since he's now the manager of the bank, which is kind of weird because they its been long since they've seen each other then she comes asking for a favor, but then again she's a widow. But now Krogstad is blackmailing Nora about her debt and forgery because he's scared to loose his job. Now, I wonder how Torvald will find out about Nora's Lies.
