Good discussion today. I wish we would have had more time.
For Friday, please respond to one of the following prompts:
1. Do any of the characters in A Doll’s House remind you of other characters we’ve read about this semester? If so, explain which characters you are reminded of and why they come to mind.
2. On page 821, Nora says, “Torvald is a man with a good deal of pride—it would be terribly embarrassing and humiliating for him if he thought he owed anything to me. It would spoil everything between us; this happy home of ours would never be the same again.” In your opinion, what is this “happy home” built on? What hangs in the balance here? Why is Nora trying to protect her “big secret”?
3. Why do you think Nora confesses to forging her father’s signature when Krogstad confronts her about the date?
4. Choose five words to describe Nora in this first act and write a brief paragraph about each word, using examples from the play as illustrations.
