Summary of Act III.

In my 4th period English class, we finished reading the end of Act III. The ending of Act III was really mind blowing and entertaining. Many things happened in this part of the story that you wouldn’t believe would’ve happened. The main characters that were in this act were Nora and Helmer. In this act, Helmer finally found out about the note that Krogstad had sent back to Nora. In that note was a letter of apology plus, Nora’s bond. In anger, Torvald Helmer burst through Nora’s room and a whole new situation started.
Even though Helmer was angry, he threw the letter n Nora’s bond into fire and wanted to forget the whole situation and start over. The most shocking part of this act was the ending. At the end of Act III, Nora ended up leaving Torvald. Her reason for leaving him was because she was tired of being treated like a toy and wanted to be treated like a human being. She has a mind of her own and wants to be treated as a person and not a toy. In my opinion, I agree wit Nora. All her life she has been treated like a toy, or like a doll, by her father. Her husband Helmer also treated her like that. That was a shocking ending for Act III because many people would’ve thought that all the years Torvald and Nora had been married, she would’ve really loved him. But in the end, she ended up losing all the love for him.

Summary of Act II.

So far throughout our reading of A Doll's House, our English class has managed to make it to the end of Act II. In the reading, I learned many new and interesting facts about the characters of the play. I learned a whole new side of Nora and of Dr. Rank. Nora may have seemed like an innocent and devoted wife to Torvald, but based on the play, she isn't. She talks about how Torvald is a devoted husband and how he always cares for her and gives her whatever she wants. In my opinion, I think Nora is a gold digger and using Torvald for his money. After reading act II, I think Nora is a flirt and that she is a tramp. She flirts and tempts Dr. Rank so he could help her with money problems. She flirts and flirts and flirts so that Dr. Rank would give her money and help her out with her and Torvalds problems. To be continued....

So far in English class, we finished reading act 1 of A Doll’s House. I learned so much about the main characters in the play. The main characters are Mrs. Linde, Norah, Torvald Helmer, and Nils Krogstad. Torvald Helmer is a lawyer and the husband of Norah. He is a very generous and trustworthy husband. With all the money he makes, he treats his wife, Nora, like a queen. He spoils her with all the money that he makes. Nora is lucky to have a husband like him who’ll do anything for her.
Nora is the husband of Torvald Helmer. She is a spoiled and ungrateful woman. She takes Torvald and his money for granted. Just because he makes a good amount of money, she feels that she has to rub it in other people’s faces. To be continued…….

About Henrik Ibson

The Author of A Doll's House was Henrik Ibsen. He was born in Skien, a tiny coastal town in the South of Norway. Ibsen and his family weren't wealthy or didn't have much money, as many people would say. His father, Knud Ibsen, was a merchant whose financial failure changed his families life. His father's friends broke all connections with him and his family moved to Venstop Farmhouse in disgrace.
When he was a child, Ibsen dreamed of becoming an artist. His mother, Marichen Cornelia Martine Altenburg, was a great painter. Iben's education was interrupted by poverty and at the age of 15 he was apprenticed to a pharmacist in Grimstad. Ibsen moved in 1850 to Christiania where he attended Heltsburg's student factory. It was an irregular school for university candidates. He earned from his journalistic writings.
