Act I

Act I is about a relationship between Nora and Helmer. Nora loves kids! She takes care of them all day. Nora has a husband name Torvald, Nora to care of Torvald way to much that it was to bad for her to do that. Nora is a lair too. Nora borrowed money from Krogstad and Nora lied to Torvald every time. Now on to Helmer! Helmer had a good relationship with Nora. Hes incredibly overbearing, treating Nora more like a child than a wife.He calls her silly names and scolds her for eating macaroons.Towards the end of the play, he even says Nora is "doubly his own" because she has "become both wife and child". When he gets her to do things like dress up or dance for him, we see Nora is actually less than a child in Torvalds mind. Shes only a play thing a doll. When Noras old friends comes back, Nora makes a little secret.Shes not just leaching off her husband. Shes saved his life. Unbeknownst to Torvald, Nora borrowed money so that they could afford a year long trip to Italy. Doctors said that Torvald would die without it.Rather than being the spendthrift that both Torvald and the girl accuse of, shes actually quite thrifty indeed.Shes been secretly working odds jobs and even skimming money from her allowance to pay back the debt. This is what Act I is about.
