All the characters in "A Doll's House" by Henrik Ibsen seems very distinguished. Each of them have a certain personality that is very hard to miss. Krogstad is a shady, mischievous, corrupted person. He black mails Nora just to get the job position. Nora has a sort of frivolous personality in my opinion. She has even lied multiple times to Torvald which is absolutely degenerating to Nora's good side. Torvald is a mix of proper attitude, yet refers to Nora as a skylark or squirrel, as if ravishing.
Its very easy to spot out and describe all of them. Mrs. Linde is serious and offensive at times due to Nora's good fortune. Since the death of her husband its understandable of why she is like that. It doesn't really help; however that Krogstad also wants the same job position. Dr. Rank is very curious based on the story. He seems very interested at what Nora's life is like and all her wrong doings. All the characters seemed focus on one another. You have Krogstad interfering with Mrs. Linde and Nora's life. Torvald is oblivious to the fact of all the lies he is walking in, Dr. Rank is like a detective almost, and you have Nora the unpredictable, untruthful, and jittery mess.
I definatley agree with you. I say this because towards the end of Act 1 Nora made it very obvious that she is hiding something and even her friend Mrs. Linde caught on. To me in my opinion lying to your husband isn't very trustful and you should be able to tell your spouse anything. Also Ill say that what Krogstad is doing isn't very professional and that blackmailing Nora isn't smart because she could get both of them into trouble.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you it seems like everything that comes out of Noras mouth is a lie. It's never good to lie in any relationship. Whether it's a friendship or marrige.
