Act 1 of a dolls house was a very all over the place and detailed first act. We are introduced to many different characters of different personalities and problems. For example, we get to know my favorite character so far Krogstad. I played his part when reading it so i felt drawn towards him. We also are introduced to Nora. "Scatter-Brain" a very complicated person to understand in my opinion. At first I figured she was a shopper who spends away all the money but after reading I see her in a more uplifting light now. She did a wrong o do a right. That was to save her father which i respect. I dont agree in the way she did it.
In act 1 we also see how each character act towards each other. Mostly between Helmer and Nora. I do not think that Helmer respects Nora as much as he should. When he asks "what is my little scatterbrain doing" or says "does my little featherbrain forget", It is a sign of disrespect. Just like a woman I can feel the sense that he doesn't give the much needed respect that she deserves and should get. You also see it a bit of flare from Nora which I was shocked to see. When Mrs.Linde talks about how easy her life has been she jumps and doesn't hesitate to defend herself on that comment. I`m already excited to pickup back on Act 2.
I agree with you in defense of Nora. She isn't exactly a liar and deceiver because she had the best intentions. If Helmer knew what she did for him, he shouldn't be upset. Helmer should give her the respect she deserves and more.

ReplyDeleteAisha has a good point. Nora had the best intentions.
