Act Uno

We are done reading Act One in class, and many things happen. The setting is around Christmas time, holiday season! This is a hectic and busy time for a lot of people, maybe this is why Nora wants money all the time. Even Tovarld told Nora to stop squandering around money. I find it funny when Mrs. Linde after many years decides to stop at Nora’s house when her life is at a peak low, a widow, and unemployed. I believe she’s just using Nora to get a job at the bank. If I had personally issues in my life, I would never run to Nora for help or advice. It seems to me she just wants be to center of attention, very selfish. Her behavior sometimes is indescreet. Krogstad, a sneaky little man, insists Nora to convince Tovarld that his position at the bank stays secure, but she turns him down. She probably wants to help out her old dear friend Mrs. Linde. At that note Krogstad isn’t a happy person. Little does Nora know that in his hands he has the contract that contains Nora’s forgery of her father’s signature. Nora is incredulously and shock! She attempts to tell Tovarld that Krogstad should keep his job, but Tovarld doesn’t want to hear her. He disapproves of such people with low reputations. He attacks Krogstad and his home living, how is house is “infected with bacteria.” Well if he has such a strong opinion against Krogstad, imagine how is going to react if he finds out Nora’s lies! Tovarlds explains how he is physical feels ill in the presence of such people.

How Krogstad put Nora in such a awkward position leaving him no choice but to black mail her just so he can get what he wants, reminds me of the fox name Swiper from Dora the Explorer. They are both very sneaky characters and no one likes them. When Mrs. Linde came to Nora looking for a job. It reminded when my mom’s best friend came to my house asking my mom if she could borrow money because her job laid her off and she needed to pay her rent. As a good friend my mom helped out her.
