Once finishing Act 2, Nora is acting jauntily because she thinks that the lie she’s hiding won’t get
out. I feel that Nora should keep people out of her situation because putting
more people into it could make the outcome much different, for instance when
she gets Mrs.Linde involved with collecting the letter so Torvald can’t see it.
It’s almost intolerable because Nora
thinks that Krogstad won’t show Torvald the letter even when she’s being
blackmailed by him. Nora also tries to mess up the tarantella purposely to have her husband teach her again while
Dr.Rank is there. Sometimes I wonder if she thinks that the lie would disappear
and that she could forget about it. I say this because it’s putting Nora in a
great state of hysterics and its
making her imagine things and hear things. Also, sometimes you think that you
can hide beyond other people but you can’t because the truth could come out
still.
Lastly, Nora lying is showing that she can’t go and tell her
husband herself and has to rely on other people. Also, you should not tell
anyone else about the lie because you could tell a person who could accidently
tell and not realize it. You should tell the person right off the bat so it
doesn’t spiral out of control. Nora in my opinion should have been honest.
Yes, Nora is too afraid to admit to her husband about what she has done wrong, and she's just letting the situation get bigger, and bigger, and has been letting it grow for more than 8 years...
ReplyDeleteYou're completely right, Nora should keep people out of her business. The less people know the better. Nora does rely on a lot of people and it's not that great of a look. But she can't help it. She's a woman in the 1800s. She "supposed" to rely on people i.e. Torvald
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, Nora should've been honest. She didn't have to lie in the first place anyway, if she had just told Torvald, the lie wouldn't be dragged out for so long and he probably would've gotten over it over the course of 8 years. Lastly, she didn't have to tell Mrs Linde anything, if anything I would've avoided telling Mrs Linde. But then, like Andréa said, she does have to rely on people since they are in the 1800's and they cannot just work things off or do things by themselves. Women were to supposed to rely on their husbands or friends, that's just how it worked.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you,it would have been better if Nora told the truth. It would be better for Torvald to learn the truth from Nora then from Krogstad. But seeing how a person's reputation is so important back then I can see why Nora is lying.
ReplyDeleteNora cannot be honest at this point in the lie. In the beginning when Nora wrote her father’s signature and after Torvald recovered, then she should have told him. We are in a part of the story where we know how Torvald is going to react because of Krogstad doing the exact same thing. So Nora should keep it a secret but continues to get more people involved making her problem a whole lot worse.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with you when you said that Nora should have just told the truth. Nora knew she was in too deep so she had to tell someone or she would have gone completely mad. What Nora did was to "save" Torvald so she was completely blinded by the fact that she was committing a crime.
ReplyDeleteI agree and think that she should tell the person right off the bat because a lie can turn into a worse lie and it did happen and by her thinking killing herself would help wouldn't because it's not worth it also . She should of told the truth from the start .
