Act III: Helmer is Left crying and alone

Now I realize that Nora can stand on her own two feet and stop disreguarding Helmer's comments by writing them off as just another way he expresses his love .Once the letter written by Krogstad was discovered by Torvald he immediately insults Nora calls her demeaning and belitting names. Then once Torvald recieves the bond he ultimately disposes of the letter by ripping it to shreds and burns in the fire place. When he realizes that that this is situation is all over her apoligizes to her in his way of being caring. In his forged apology he calls her the usual degading names and something finally goes off. she realizes that he doesn't really love her as a wife but as a pet. She also realizes that her she has never had an opinion. Her father made the choices and she always followed in what ever he said. When Nora left Torvald I felt it was not the way she should have done it , she should not have left her kids and left them without a mother figure. Separation and divorce can really traumatize children and In the story it seemed as if she was done with him and her kids forever.

Charater Analysis


As the plot explands it depletes problems ,consuming them one by one, Nora is put in a place where she does not know what to do and she asks Mrs. Linde for assurance when Krogstad placed a the letter pertaining to her previous debacle(for instance George from of Mice and Men comes to help Leenie when he is always in trouble). When Mrs. Linde realizes that Nora needs her help she comes to her side and pays a visit to Krogstad. When Mrs.Linde does visit Krogstad she calls him a personal names from when they were a couple. She then persaudes Krogstad that what he did was wrong and that they can have a life together. When Kristina visits Nora she explains that what was did must be said and Nora now realizes what she has to do..... if only she could with out and interuptions
Helmer: I can compare him to Curly from of Mice and Men because he is degrades his wife just as curly does

Mrs.Linde: can be commpared to as George because she always comes to help Nora in impossible situations

Nora:can be compared to Lennie because she really overwhelmed and confused and needs help with many obstatcles that hinder her sccomplisshments

Dr.Rank: Brutus because although he is good friend of Helmer he betrays Helmer by admitting that he loves Nora

Krogstad: Cassius because he doesn't want to be fired so plans to blackmail Nora with the bond for instance Cassius is jealous of Ceasar and he decides to kill him, Cassius has a problem and he decides to fix and Krogstad has a problem and he decides to fix it by blackmailing Nora

Mrs. Helmer should NOT be trusted!!!

I believe that Mrs. Helmer is not a very trustworthy person, if she really needed the money she would have been more careful with getting the dates correct between the signing of the contract and the timing of her father's death. Although her husband was bedridden, I could understand that she could not clearly focused because of both of the men in her life were not in a healthy state, but if she wanted to fully pull it off she would have to have thought of her plan numerous times. Mrs. Helmer set herself up for failure even though amortization occured with repaying Krogstad back she was very indiscreet by asking her husband for money. when Ms. Kristina Linde comes into the picture Mrs. Helmer goes on and on about her children and ravishing items it shows me she is very careless because she knows that Ms. Linde is unfortunate and she shares her secret about the money (without her husband`s discretion ) with her ,almost as if she is gloating

Three main characters are:
