Act 3 continues....

[After Nora leaves, Tovald goes down on his knees and puts his hands on his face.]

Helmer: Oh my little skylark is gone. My happiness is gone. Everything is gone.

[The maid opens the door and enters the room.]

Maid: Mr Helmer, forgive me that I evasion, but what's wrong?  

Helmer: Oh nothing, dear. 

Maid: dear?

[Helmer gets up and faces Mrs Linde. He gets closer to her.]

Helmer: Oh nothing darling!

[Helmer starts playing with the maid's hair.]

Helmer: Oh my little skylark don't you look so beautiful?

Maid: Mr Helmer, I am confused! Where is Mrs. Helmer!?

Helmer: Shhh! She is not important now...She was suppressing me all this time...you are my little featherbrain.

 Maid: Oh Torvald, I am shocked....what about the children?

Helmer: I'm sure they will be fine calling you "mommy" now. 

[A few days passed...Nora and Torvald has not talked nor seen each other ever since their break up. Torvald is with the children in his house with his new wife.]

Torvald: oh my little featherbrain, it's time for my first day as the boss of the bank. 
[Torvald kisses his wife (the maid) and goes out to the bank.]

[Nora is outside Walking around the park with a sad face. She starts talking to herself]

Nora: I think I made the wrong decision. I'm nothing with Torvald. I can't do anything right...I lost my home...my children...and my husband. I can't even get a job....I have nothing left. It's time.
[Nora walks towards the lake.]

Nora: I've been a child all my life. I can't take it anymore. I'm capricious

[Nora dives head first into the water and drowns.]

THE END

Act 2

Act 2

Act 2 was very exciting and shocking to me. I was not surprise that Nora had a plan to get Krogstad his money through someone, however I was surprised on how she was leading Dr. Rank on for a while. I felt bad for Dr. Rank since he let out all his feelings to Nora after she was leading him on for a bit. I was not surprised that Ms Linde was going to help Nora, but I was surprised that her and Krogstad has a thing.

Apparently, Ms. Linde left Krogstad for a man that had a lot of money. After I read that, I thought she was a gold digger, however I knew she had to do it so she can support her family. It was shocking that she is going to allow Helmer to look at the letter first. She seemed unperturbed about the situation. Krogstad was wearing an domino. I don't know what she is doing, but she is going to ruin Nora's life. Speaking of Nora, I was not surprise that she considered suicide.  She did a good job stalling Helmer for a while, however she was being a hypocrite. Nora was still showing signs of acting like a child. "Now, now, now! You mustn't be so wild and excitable. Be my own little skylark again."  (Ibsen 205). "But Nora darling, you're dancing as if your life depended on it." (Ibsen 204). Since now that is her plan to possibly kill herself, I can't wait to see if it happens or not. Act 3 should be exciting, however I do not think she'll kill herself. I feel like she will get away from the problem somehow. Can't wait to read Act 3!! 

Act 1

       Act 1

Act 1 was very exciting. At first, I thought Nora was a gold digger because she likes getting money from Helmer and certainly likes spending it immediately. However, as the story goes on, I've noticed she took her time saving that money for something special. I like how Helmer treats Nora because I think she acts childish. She is some what responsible, but clearly spends money immediately. "Has my little featherbrain been out wasting money again?" Helmer says to Nora. He clearly knows she is immature and calls her names. The only thing she tries to do is look ravishing for Helmer. I also think she is selfish. For example, her conversations with Mrs Linde, she mainly talked about herself.

The second half of Act 1 was very exciting as well. I was surprise on how Krogstad forged signatures on the check. It reminded me of Sasha Uskov from the other book we read earlier. He was persuading Nora to give him a good word for Helmer. Apparently to Nora, he was frivolous.  I'm not surprise about Nora borrowing about 12 thousand dollars from Krogstad though. Korgstad is the evil character in the story now. He blackmailed her a few times as well about the forged signatures, the checks, and threatening to poison her children. I wonder what happens next since Helmer doesn't like Krogstad. "Didn't you say that no one had been here? My little songbird mustn't ever do that again" Helmer says to Nora as he finds out she is lying about Krogstad. Nora now has a lot of problems and I'm curious to see if she can overcome them. With Krogstad's blackmails she incredulously can't be with her children at times now. I can't wait to read Act 2 and find out more and how she'll overcome these problems.

Henrik Ibsen 

          Henrik Ibsen was born in 1828. He was an author and a poet. He lived between Italy and Germany for 27 years. During his career, he tried being an artist. He had lots of struggles along the way to fame and success. Ibsen's drama gives his special character an experience of missing out on life and plodding along in a state of living death. Ibsen likes giving his main characters strives towards a goal. In the early 1850's, Ibsen worked for drama. He worked with a Frenchman and German and studied Euro-heatrical art. He published "A Doll's House", "When We Dead Awaken", "Pillars of Society", etc. He died in 1906. He has a very bad illness that prevented him from writing more. I think the title relates to his life on how you should appreciate the things in life before you get old or something happens to you. Also to strive to a goal. I think the play will focus on how you should appreciate and take advantage on what you have before death.
