THE END

Nora leaves out in one swift motion
Helmer: She'll be back, I don't need her she needs me....

Nora arrives at Dr.Rank's doorstep and hesitates to knock
Nora (to herself):what if he doesn't want a loud mouth obstinate woman like me?

The door opens and a woman appears
Woman: May i help you?
Nora: Yes, I've come to see Dr.Rank
Woman: Oh..have you?
Nora: Yes, may i ask who you are?
Woman: I'm an old friend of Dr. Rank's. He's not well enough for a surprise visit
Nora: May i just see him
Woman: No

Nora feels a shower of rage run over her
Nora: I have left my husband and children for him and myself to be together...why must you keep us apart?!!!
Woman: I do think you should have a moment for yourself...you don't look well
Nora: Can i please just see him...one last time?
Woman: Ugh..alright

The woman opens the door just enough to allow Nora to slip through
Woman: He's in the back but don't take long
Nora:Thank you
Nora gradually makes her way past the corridors lamps and painting. She finally arrives at his bedroom door.
Nora (with a deep breath): Hello Dr.Rank
Dr.Rank looks at Nora as if looking at an angel...
Dr.Rank: Hi
Nora: May i sit?
Dr.Rank: Yes Yes please do
Nora: I have left Torvald and the children ...i must find myself
Dr.Rank sits up and listens attentively
Nora: I was hoping to find myself with you
Dr.Rank (with a chuckle): Oh Nora I'm dying how could you-
Nora: You have shown me that love can overcome anything...maybe even death
Dr.Rank: Nora I can't
Nora:You can't?
Dr.Rank: No, you must go...

The woman enters the room
Woman:Its time for you to go
Nora:Very well
Nora leans over and kisses Dr.Rank. Dr. Rank turns away and she leaves.
Woman: Who was that?
Dr.Rank: Oh nobody just the love of my life...

Act 2

Dr.Rank said "Please you mustn't punish me like this. If you'll let me I'll promise I do anything for you that a man could" (195) In act two you could feel the tension building up between Dr. Rank and Nora. As they flirt you could tell they what to be together. As for Mrs.Linde, she is willing to ask a favor of someone for the sake of her friend. Krogstad is a low life bully. He put Nora in a bad position when he leaves the letter in the mailbox. It wasn't enough that he threatened her but now he is putting her life in jeopardy. Nora said " seven hours to midnight. twenty-four to midnight tomorrow. Tarantella will be over. twenty-four and seven..... thirty-one hours to live." (206)

Nora is a frivolous lier. Helmer"Not to taste one sweet?" Nora said "no, of course not" (page 151) I wonder how she would feel if he lied to her? I do understand why she acts a certain way but it doesn't give her the right to lie. Her husband should think more of women, let alone his wife. "Nora, Nora ! Just like a women ! but seriously, Nora, you know what I think about that sort of thing" (pg 149) I think Helmer is a pretty good man but not so much a good husband. He gives her money to squander. He shows good morals when he talks about Krogstad because he doesn't sympathize with him. Krogstad knew what he did was wrong.

I felt as thought Nora is self-centered because when Mrs. Linde comes and talks about her hardship. All Nora can think about is her advancement in life. I think that Mrs.Linde should go out with Dr.Rank because they are both down on their luck and could pick each other up. In real life it is said "to get over somebody, find someone new"
