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…….

  1. I agree with you about Nora, she does spend all of his money on unimportant items. Do you think it is because she was unable to have what she wanted as a child or maybe because she was so used to doing it?

  2. Kelsea,

    Excellent question! Bringing up her childhood is key because it plays a huge factor on her development into an adult.
