Act II Post

I think I'll start with the relationship between Nora and Krogstad. At first he threatens to give the letter containing Nora's entire scheme to Torvald. Of course Nora doesn't want himto find out, so he tells her to convince Torvald to keep his position at the bank. Krogstad is just blackmailing Nora, but he does have a good reason. He has a life too, and he needs income and a place to work. Nora begs Torvald to let Krogstad to keep his job, but he gets insulted and makes a rash decision.

Nora and Dr. Rank's relationship is also very interesting. Nora's constantly flirting with him,and he's returning the favor. She sits on a couch with him in a dimly lit room, and shows him her flesh colored tights she's going to wear to the dance the next night. In those days this was considered adultry. Dr. Rank then tells Nora how he really feels about her and she doesn't take it will. When he tells her he loves her, she just pushed him away. I don't think she should've pushed him away like she did, she could've done it in a less painful way for him.

  1. I do not believe that Dr. Rank is returning a favor. I believe that he really likes Nora and would cheat on his friend if he go the chance.

  2. I think Nora knew what she was getting herself into with Dr. Rank, but after he confessed his love for her she realized what a mistake it really was.
