We're onto Act II now! Well, Nora has been quite a character. She talks to Torvald one way, turns to Krogstad and acts another way and even gets flirtatious with Dr. Rank. Nora is definitely something else. Why can't she simply be one person?
This act had much to do with Nora's dilemma. Let me remind that her dilemma is that Krogstad will send Torvald a letter saying that she borrowed money from him by using her father's signature. Forging a signature is what had gotten Krogstad into some trouble a while back. If Nora couldn't get Torvald to let Krogstad keep his position at the bank, then that letter would be mailed to Torvald. Although Nora knew she had to convince her husband to keep Krogstad at the bank, she wanted to help Mrs. Linde get a job there, too. Nora was caught between convincing Torvald to hire Mrs. Linde or to convince him to keep Krogstad. Obviously she tried to persuade Torvald to keep Krogstad. She didn't want him to find out about the money, even if it was for a good cause.
Nora showing Dr. Rank her silk stockings&flirting with him lead him to confessing his love for her. I don't think she meant it to go that far, but why else would she have acted in that manner towards Dr. Rank? What do you think?
I also don't believe she meant to tease Dr.Rank or lead him on. I believe Nora is just a women is very flirtatious with everyone. But then again the whole stocking thing was a bit out there. Good Post !
ReplyDeleteNate, Nora dosent not flirt with everybody. She dosent flirt with Krogstad. She just alittle to friendly at times. :p
ReplyDeleteI feel that Nota likes to use her "beauty" as a way to get what she wants.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rob. Nora always talks about how pretty she is and how good she looks in anything she wears. Therefore, Nora enjoys doing what she was saying to Dr. Rank, but never expected it to get as far as it did.
