Act III Homework, Tuesday, May 31st post

The end of the play really sums up most of the story. I really didn't know how Torvald was going to react to Krogstads letter. I didn't think that Nora would have gotten so serious about the letter. When I read the end of the play when Nora left Torvald, I was ready to cry. It was such a sad ending. But it told the story of how Nora felt like she was being viewed.

I thought that the story really was good. It gave a view of how women were viewed in that day and age. It reminded me a lot of A Raisin in the Sun. It reminded me of how Beneatha felt when Walter said that she should only look forward to being a housewife. Like she shouldn't have any dreams. I thought the story had a lot of meaning to it.

Assignment II Homework

   A Dolls House has gotten very interesting. Torvald hasn't had much of a role. Nora seems a lot more paranoid about Torvald finding out about Krogstad's letter. I think that Nora has a very strong personality and will. She continually refuses to give in to Krogstad's threats. She is not as childish as I thought her character was.

  I now see that Krogstad has a heart after all. His previous relationship with Kristina Linde seemed to be very close. I guess even the coldest person can have feelings. It made me really wonder if Krogstad really was a bad person. I think he just didn't want to lose something that meant so much to him. I really don't think Krogstad is really all that bad.

Homework Act 1

I messed up a little on my last blog. O.K., here it goes. The characters in the play are all very unique and have their own personalities. I believe that Norah's character is pretty funny in a lot of ways. Torvald seems very cheap with lending out money. I see Krogstad as a very wicked man who only cares about getting what he wants. It's kind of funny, but Norah reminds me a lot of myself. Always happy and in a good mood. That is usually how I feel 24/7! I would like to ask my peers one question. Which character, or character reminds the of their own personality? How do you feel about Krogstad? I think he is a really evil character.

Dolls House homework

The story "A Dolls House" is about a woman named Nora who acts childish to ge things from her husband. However, she does this so she can pay off a big debt to a man named Krogstad, who gave her money so that she could help her husband when he was sick. Now if she does not pay up within a certain amount of time, Krogstad threatens to tell her husband, Torvald what she has done. The story  was made in the mid 1870's by a Norwegian writer named Henrik Ibsen. Henrik wrote several great works, including We Dead Awake. There! I hope this covers what I was missing!
