LOVE

Hey readers! To just get to the point, Mrs. Linde (aka Kristina) and Krogstad were once a long time ago a thing, and she left him for a man that had money already. When they finally talk about it she kind of tricks him to fall back inlove with her and now there a thing again. We call a man thats so inlove with a woman to be whipped, which is how i see him, but at the same point everyone needs that special one and he just shows it how he feels. Most guys aren't like that, wait let me refrase that all men are the exact opposite of Krogstad! what do you think about love and the "love" between Kristina and Krogstad?

Act II ; sneaky sneaky little Nora

Is there something between Dr. Rank and Nora? during act II, Nora and Dr. Rank have a conversation alone. She shows him her skin tone stockings, which was not exactly proper from a woman to wear in this time period. As i was reading the two talk to each other the mental picture I got was Nora kind of not throwing herself to him but teasing him in a sense. I honestly think Nora has or had a thing for Dr. Rank but is inlove with her husband. What i dont understand is why does Nora react to when he tells her that he'd gladly give his life for her?

Later that night Nora and Torvald practice the tarantella, for the holiday party their attending the next night. She made him promise to stay away from all work for the night, to just focous on her, for Krogstads letter is still in the mailbox. Nora doesnt want her husband to know about her borrowing money and forging the signiture but if she continues this fake act, she'll lie til her she lays in her death bed. It'll always be on her mind and she'll never be at ease with herself. I think that she's extremly smart and knows how to get mostly what she wants but this changes my mind about her, I want her to woman up and tell her husband like a responsible adult what she has done, but she wont and now I have a better understanding of how she really is.

this is an alien ! :D

Act I !!! :)

I’ve decided that A Doll’s House is my favorite piece of literature that I’ve read in my sophomore year. From only reading the first act I got the whole feeling of the characters and really connected with the story. The characters are a lot like everyday people, for example Krogstad created a crime and is now trying to come back into society and not be looked upon in a bad way. Many people have created crimes in life and ask for forgiveness because they made a mistake. Many of the other characters play a role where they portray our society, which is because that’s how people actually are, even back in the 1800s when this was written.

In my last post I told you I’d keep you updated on the play. Therefore, Nora gets herself into a huge mess because as she tried to help a friend, but she’s being hold back by someone that can control her like a puppet, Krogstad. This is the man that she borrowed money from, who has the papers with Nora’s father’s forged signature on. I mentioned that Krogstad got into trouble with the law, which was that he forged a signature on documents. To warn her, Krogstad says, “You better tell your husband not to replace me, for you are the one to pay for it”. Was its wrong for Nora to borrow money and forged her almost dead father’s signature to help her ill husband become healthy again? Would you take a legal risk to help a loved one become better again? Most likely I certainly would!!!! And truthfully tell me, if you got in trouble with the law but your making your way back, would you blackmail someone else that made the same mistake as you????

homework- 5/15/2011

For my sophomore English class last piece of writing for the year, we're reading the play A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen. The play is about a woman named Nora who is married to Trovald, and the story displays how he treats her like a child and not a wife.throughout the story, Nora borrows money from a man named Krogstad, which causes problems later on in the future of Nora and Trovald. Problems begin to erupt between the two and causes a major out come in the end. a quote that i found in the play and really liked, "A person can’t be happy when falling into the mold of someone else.  To be happy, one must be oneself and know oneself.  Since all of Nora’s life, she followed right behind her father and her husband, she did not know herself and had to leave to learn " (tripod.com).But i don't want to ruin the story so to know the rest read the play or wait for future post to be updated.


Since we know something about the play, what about the author? Henrik Ibsen was born on 1828 in Skien, Norway. He's a man who cherished the theatre his whole life. At age twenty-one he didn't care to be come a playwritter or pursue journalism since he was out of college. Still he continued to write and worked at  National Theater in Bergen where he learned about show business and found his passion in the theatre. He began writing many plays, which the one we're reading is A Doll's house. Later in his life Henrik suffered many strokes and pass away at the age of seventy-eight.
