What an"Expected" Ending

Throughout the novel, Nora remained to be a difficult women. But slowly at the end Torvald seemed to be the problem and this was realized. When Krogstad's letter was finally read by Torvald, he began to freak out on Nora and wanting to disown her calling her "a weak helpless child". Once Torvald received the second letter saying Krogstad turned a new leaf and would forget the whole thing, the strange thing is that Torvald was suddenly happy again seeing that his career was saved? Torvald changed his mood from furious to carefree?
At that moment Nora finally realized her problem. Before in the story she was saying how you can want to be with someone, but stay with the one you love. She thought she loved Torvald, but only realized she was letting him play her just like "A Doll's House". Just like her father was doing to her as a child, she would always try to please them in any way. She finally knew what to do, she left her home and searched for her own life. I wonder what she will discover on this journey. Become a successful women and realize she is strong, or can't find the strength and admit Torvald was right about her being a helpless child?

nora, who is she?

As i have said before Nora is a childish, spoiled woman. She seems to have the good life, now that her husband is manager of the bank, her life will only get better. But to what cost? How did she manage to forge her father's signature and not worry? Do you really think this lawyer will really blackmail her? What will be the outcome?

First Impression?

So far in the novel, Nora seems to be like a childish spoiled compulsive liar. She accepts that here husband treats her like a child. She also sees herself ravishing, going on about how she will never become ugly. When a childhood friend comes over, all she can speak of is her perfect life while her friend barley makes it. When her friend tells her that she doesn't understand the pain of a normal life she becomes offended and speaks about how she once saved her husbands life. When he was bedridden, Nora said she was able to collect enough money and make him healthy. How? I will just have to keep reading and see.

My Sophmore English Class

The school year has been very fun and exciting for me. I enjoy our in-class conversations and random moments in between reading. We will soon be reading the novel "A Doll's House" created by Henrik Ibsen. His work was a bit controversial since they were "taboo subject" (Blooms Literary References). The novel is about a women named Nora who forges her fathers signature, takes a loan without consulting her husband, and leaves the children with him to find herself.

 The ending of the story has been changed many times to keep it as respectable as possible. The story itself is very scandalous but still view as a great plot by some. To others it is too much. Eric Bentley argues that "the play would be just as valid were Torvald the wife and Nora the husband. A very interesting book indeed.
