Act Two .

In the begining of Act 2 Nora was flirting with Dr. Rank and proving that her character was kind of a tease. We found out that he used to come over a very lot. Also that he is very sick and that he is going to die very soon. Then at the end of their conversation he tells her that he has always loved her. After flirting with him the whole time she rejects him after he tells her he loves her.
When Dr. Rank finally leaves, the maid informs Nora that Krogstad is here. He comes in and they dicuss how since Helmer fired Krogstad, Krogstad writes a letter telling Helmer everything. Nora tries so hard to convince him not to do it but he puts it in the mailbox anyway. When he leaves, Nora tells Mrs. Linde that she can convince him to get it back because "There was a time when he would gladly have done anything for me".
While Mrs. Linde goes to convince Krogstad to get the letter back Nora tries to distract Torvald by flirting with him and making him think she doesnt know what shes doing. Soon after Mrs. Linde comes back and tells Nora that Krogstad had gone to town but she had left a note. They both leave it alone and return to dinner.

Act 1 .

In the story we have met the characters Nora, Helmer, Torvald, Mrs. Linde, and Krogstad. Nora is the main girl of the play. In the play Nora's husband Helmer was very ill. Nora didn't have a lot of money so she had to borrow money from Krogstad. She wanted to send her husband to Italy so that he would be in warm weather to get better. Krogstad gave her the money to go to Italy but she had to sign a document saying to pay him back. On the document it said that if she didnt pay the check would go to her father. A few months later Krogstad came to her house with a very important question. He had noticed that on the document "her father" had signed it 3 days after his death. He assumed the father had forgotten to put it so she just filled it in but he was most suspicious. They, Nora & Krogstad, both new that if she had forged the document she could be in some serious trouble. Nora and Helmer also remind me of Walter and Ruth from "A Raisin in the Sun". Both of the men are mistreating the women.

Henrik Ibsen, author of "A Doll's House".

Henrik Ibsen was born in Norway in 1828. His whole life he dreamed of being an artist. As an adult of 27 he moved from Norway to Italy. There he wrote plays like "The Emperor and the Galilean (1873)" and "A Doll's House". He wrote about "the middle class and life in the suburbs and small towns". Besides his famous plays he also liked to write poetry. In 1900 he died after having a stroke. (http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/ibsen.htm)

"A Doll's House" to me sounds like a mystery book. It sounds like it would be about a family who lives in Victorian Times. After reading some notes about the book I think that it has to with a girl having a life like her dolls. Using your imagination your dolls can have anything they want. Thats kind of how one of the characters, Nora.
