Act II
In Act two things got serious to
Nora flirting with Dr. Rank. This to me is the most interesting part in this
act to me is how close Dr. Rank and Nora are. What led to reach this conclusion
is when Nora had said “More than anyone else. I know you are my truest and best
friend, and so I will tell you what it is. Well, Doctor Rank, it is something
you must help me to prevent. You know how devotedly, how inexpressibly deeply
Torvald loves me; he would never for a moment hesitate to give his life for me”
(Ibsen 210). With that respond Dr. Rank had responded with “[leaning towards
her]. Nora--do you think he is the only one--?” (Ibsen 210). To me this
means that Nora and Dr. Rank had a relationship also the part when she showed
him her stocking and hitting him lightly on the ear. She also wanted to ask for
money for Krogstad but to I guess she saw how much he was in distress and saw
that he would almost do anything for her. Do you believe that Nora and Dr.
Rank had something? Do you think Nora
just didn’t ask for the money because he was in distress or because he was in
love with her or both?
Now the climactic moment will
Helmer find out about Nora or would this go all go under the rug. To how Nora
beg Helmer to not to fire Krogstad to Nora begging Helmer to not opening the
letter box. Ms. Linde trying to help Nora to get Krogstad to get rid of the
letter for a secret that Nora believe that would destroy her marriage. When
Krogstad visit Nora Krogstad even know that Nora was in a desperate state he
said to Nora “If you had it in your mind to run away from your home— “and “Or
even something worse— “. (Ibsen 213). This tell me that Nora already thought of
leaving and committing suicide for keep secret a secret. She doesn’t know that
the lie is tearing her apart and being able to enjoy her time with her kids or
just sitting at home. I believe that Nora need to stop hiding the secret and admit
what she had done if not it will tear her apart and could possible destroy her
marriage. Do you believe Nora should keep the secret and keep living in contestant
fear of trying to keep it hidden?
I don't think Nora and Dr. Rank had anything, I've come to believe that she and him are just really great friends and her constant flirting with him has lead him to think she has false feelings. I believe she didn't ask for the money mainly because she felt bad that he loves her, and if she asked for the money know it would make it seem like she was thinking "oh you love me? that's cool now give me money please."
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't believe Nora should keep that a secret. The longer she keeps it a secret from Helmer, the more upset he'll be the moment he finds out. The longer she lives this lie, the longer it'll take for her to build up the courage to tell Helmer the truth. She already tells plenty of little white lies as it is.
Nora should not keep that as a secret. The longer the secret is kept, the more Helmer will be angry at her.
