Act one!

In class, we just finished the first act of A Dolls House. Nora is the first character who is introduced. The way I see Nora is that she’s a like a little girl.She spends money and does things without thinking of the consequences, like when she forged her fathers signature even though that is illegal. I believe she is slightly self-centered and doesn't care what other people have to say or how they feel unless it effects her. An example of this is when her good friend Mrs.Linde came to visit her after they haven't seen eachother in long time. As they were catching up, Nora talked about herself the whole time. Even when she realizes she being a bit selfish and switches topics to Kristina(Mrs.Linde), she jumps back seconds later to telling her something about herself.
Nora just skips around doing frivolous things while her husband, Helmer, looks over her and makes sure she doesn’t get herself into trouble.Torvald Helmer is the next character introduced. He has a job at the bank and is about to get a promotion. Nora seems to be completely dependent on Helmer and he babies her. Not only that but he degrades her and make himself appear to be on a higher level then Nora. He refers to her as his little squirrel or twittering skylark. He also calls her a scatterbrain.
Most women would find this offensive and would not marry a man who treated them like this. Although, Nora is the opposite. She completely gives into it. She replies to these names as if they were her own. Also, today Miss Santos mentioned that in the movie, Nora imitates a squirrel to convince Helmer to give her money. Instead of standing against such sexist comments, Nora just plays the part of her husbands pretty little skylark.
