Act two

The second act of this play really emphasized the conflict in this story. I felt that the author thought I was stupid and needed to explain the seriousness of Nora’s problem over and over and over again. When Nora says “Something glorious is about to happen” when she’s referring to her dire situation and how horrible it’ll be when Helmer will read it and how he’ll be shamed and she’ll kill herself because she doesn't want to deal with the consequences of her actions, even though this was explained throughout the whole first and second act. My favorite character in this play is Krogstad. Krogstad is too manipulative for Nora, like a girl from bad girls club. He just turns his situation towards Nora to make sure that if he goes down she’ll go down with him. Even when he's fired he's unperturbed because he knows what's going to happen.

My least favorite character is Nora, for obvious reasons. She flirts with Dr. Rank while she’s with Helmer, she makes irrational decisions, she’s basically a ‘trophy wife’ who never questions her husband, and is completely useless as a mother, in conclusion ‘she ratchet’. She's very capricious with Helmer, as to not look suspicious and I'm surprised Helmer hadn't noticed. And when she found out Helmer read the letter, she goes hysterical and threatens to kill herself. Helmer’s just as bad, completely neglecting his wife, workaholic, neglecting his kids, egotistical, prideful and narcissistic. He said this to Nora "It is already known at the Bank that I mean to dismiss Krogstad. Is it to get about now that the new manager has changed his mind at his wife's bidding." This is explaining how he sees Nora or all women to be less than a man. His pride is one of his greatest and worst attributes.
