A Doll's House Act 3

So, what do you think of Nora's decision? Why is she doing it? Would you make the same decision? Think of women you know; would they do this? As you think about this, make sure you keep in mind that this was in 1879 and that a woman then did not have the same freedoms and opportunities she might today. But, you might also ask yourself if it would be any easier today for a woman to give up her comfortable life style for whatever reasons Nora is giving up hers. One point of clarification: when she says she is going home, she means she is going to her home town, not to the home or house where she grew up. She is essentially placing herself in the same position that Mrs. Linde was in. (don't let my questions restrict you. say anything you want about Nora)

A Doll's House, Act 2

What do you think of the relationship between Nora and Dr. Rank? What about Mrs. Linde's view of the situation? (and remember she has not seen them together as the reader does in Act 2.) Does this relationship give us any more insight into Nora?

Just to get started on this adventure (of on-line discussion) let's begin with something easy:

What do you think of Nora, so far?

Write at least 100 words, but don't worry about going over if you have more to say. you should point to something specific in the text to support what you think. If you think she is "whiny" or "ditzy," for example, show us why with an example from the play: you may quote or paraphrase.

I would like each of you to have something on the blog by 8 AM Monday morning (Oct 20).

If you would like to respond to someone else's entry, you may do so -- respectfully.

OK. Let's see what happens.
