A Doll’s House Act Two

Act Two is a little more interesting than the first. Korostat (or something like that ill fix later) was the one that gave Nora the money to help her save her husband’s ( Helmer) life. But now as Korostat’s job is danger and he don’t want to lose it so he blackmails Nora by using the dept she owes to him into helping him keep his job. To me I think this makes him a sneaky little guy. But in the end Nora fails to help, so Korostat writes a letter that will give the secret of the dept he owns to him away to Helmer.

Now as tension grew, Nora became more scare that Helmer will learn about her secret. The secret she so hard to cover up will now be out in the open. I think its just very bad luck. So now as she try to make more time for her friend to find a way to get the letter for her without Helmer’s knowing. I think that little secret of her is causing a lot of problems.

Act one of the Dolls House

The act one of the Dolls house was an okay start. It had a good way to introduce some of the characters. Also they show the problem in a cleaver way. One of the main characters is Nora, she cause the problem. This makes it interesting because she is keeping it secret from her husband, Helmer, and he is against the actions she did but he doesn’t know it yet.

Nora did it because Helmer’s life was in danger and she didn’t want him to die. But to save his life the cost was a lot and they just didn’t have the money. So she got a sort of a loan from someone which she later finds out Helmer didn’t like. She also forged the signature of another person to get the money. Remeber that her husband Helmer has no idea she did this, to me the motive kind-of make up for the crime but not the whole crime, what do you people think?

Henrik Ibsen

Henrik was born in Skien. As a kid he has aways dream of becoming an artist, his mother was an avid painter and loves the theatre. His father was a merchant but had money problems then their family had to move to Venstop farmhouse. In 1850 he went to school at Heltberg's Student Factory where in the same year he wrote 2 plays and one of them was "The Burial Mound", it was a very popular. He was appointed in 1851 by Ole Bull as a "Stage Poet".

In 1858 he married Suzannah Thoresen and had one kid, Sigurd the next year. Many of Ibsen's plays couldn't attract an audience, causing him money problems. This help his decision to move abroad. In 1864 he got financial help from Bjornstjerne Bjornson and travle abroad for 27 years. He wrote A Doll's House in 1879, it was a social drama, the play was about a women refuses to obey her husband and walk out of her apparently perfect marriage.
