Act 2

           I feel like I can compare Ms Linde and Nora's friendship. Ms Linde would do anything for Nora's safety.  Nora feels like her secret coming out is so intolerable that she would kill herself. Nora feels like committing suicide is the answer for her case with Krogstad. Krogstad doesn't even care about Nora and he feels like she won't do it. But Krogstad and Ms Linde had a relationship in the past. She even says, "there was a time when he would gladly have done anything for me." (Ibsen 202)
           I didn't like how Nora was flirting with Dr Rank when she's married to Trovald and he is a close family friend. After, Dr Rank confessed his feelings for her. Dr Rank says, "to have loved you as deeply as anyone else- was that horrid?"(Ibsen 195) Then, she couldn't go through with her plan. If I was Nora and I needed money I would've asked Trovald. If he asks why I would've make up something about the dress being too expensive or I needed accessories. 
          Nora is totally being hysterics. In the story it states, "yes, a miracle, But its so dreadful. Kristina, it mustn't happen- not for anything in the world." (Ibsen 201) Nora was telling Ms Linde that her secret can't come out unless a miracle happens and someone takes the blame for her. Nora doesn't want a disreputable reputation. What would you do if you were Nora? Do you feel like it's okay to flirt with a close family friend?

Act 1

              I feel like I could compare Torvald as a father figure to Nora. He gives her frivolous nicknames like you give to a child but then again it's the 1840s. As it states in the story, "when did the squirrel get home"(pg148)Nora is now really gullible that's she thinks that frogry is like contraband. She thinks that, "corrupt my little children- poison my home?"(pg180) Nora said it like she was incredulously with that thought of it. If I was Nora and I were in her shoes I would've told Helmer than I borrowed money from Krogstad. 
             Helmer would've payed for it because it was for his health anyways.  Instead of lying to him and to everyone else.  It states in the books that, "now that you're going to earn a big salary, you'll have lots and lots"(pg148) Wouldn't you do the same thing? I mean it is her husband I feel like he would understand. She was only trying to help him. 
             She knew Krogstad was gonna be petty later even after she pays him off the money she owes him. Then she would go to jail because of him or have a bad reputation after Krogstad tells on her to everyone. What would you do if you were Nora? Would you never tell him? Have this secret until you get exposed? 

I like about English class is I sit with savannah. Mr. Ibsen was born on March 20th, 1828, in Skein,Norway. He was the oldest out of five children. As a kid, he was always in to the theater.  His father was a merchant, while his mother was more  "creative " , she was painter, played the piano , and loved to go to the theater. At the age of 15, he dropped out of school and went to work , he was an apprentice. 

One of the most influences person in his life was William Shakespeare. Ibsen grew up in gossip , one day he heard was another man's son, this helps him later on in the themes of his plays. He wrote in Grimstad , in 1848,(during the European resolution). He started off writing poetry.  By the age of 21 , Ibsen was in Oslo, pursued his education, he wrote his first play, "Catiline." His writings were based off old folk songs,folklore,and history. He died in 1806 on May 23.
