Act One

Things get really interesting in act one don't you think guys?

     Nora tells all to her old friend Ms. Linde. Helmer gets an advancement in his job, and all Nora seems to be worried about is how much money he will be getting. Nora supposedly saved her husbands life and borrowed money from her dad, well that's what she tells Ms. Linde. Nora really borrowed money from Krodstag, who is known for his forgery. In my eyes Nora and Krodstag are the same kind of people, liars and deceiving to get what they want. While her own husband is disgusted by those sort of people. "Just think how a guilty man like that must have to lie and cheat and play the hypocrite with everyone" says Helmer. How ironic? Little does he know. Nora tries to make her home seem so ravishing, corrupting everyone's mind. When Ms. Linde tells Nora she needs to tell her husband about what she did, she replies " It'd spoil everything between us, and our lovely happy home would never be the same." How could a home be happy if its full with lies and secrecy? 

     I'm so excited to see whats in for Act two. Will there be more betrayal or will the truth come spilling out? Nora is all worked up and paranoid, maybe she will crack. I guess we will have to see. 

Henrik Ibsen

   Hello everyone! My name is Naisha, I love reading and listening to music. This year In English class I really enjoyed reading "The Alchemist" only because it taught me alot about finding my destiny in life. I think the "A Doll's House" will be about a girl and shes basically getting controlled like a Doll with the lies and secrets. The themes are probably about honesty and thats what most symbols are about in the play.
   Henrik Ibsen the author of "A Doll's House" was born in Skien, Norway on March 20, 1828. His full name is Henrik Johan Ibsen. He wrote "A Doll's House" in Germany after he move there. Henrik Ibsen grew up in a small Norwegian coastal town. He was the oldest out of five children. His parents were successful. Henrik's dad was a merchants and His mom painted, love the theater, and played the piano. Ibsen was interested in becoming an artist. He started working at the age of 15, also dropped out at that age. He worked for 6 years as an apprentice in an apothecary. When Ibsen was free he painted and wrote some poetry. He died on May 23, 1906 in Norway. He had several strokes that stopped him from writing. (http://www.biography.com/people/henrik-ibsen-37014),
