Act 1

The beginning of act 1 started off very interesting. Nora, the wife seems to be able to casually lie to her husband and squandering the money he earns on whatever she pleases. By now Helmer, the husband frivolously knows that she likes spending his money  "Has my little feather brain been out wasting money again?". I think it's quite funny how she even makes fun of herself "Ah, if only you knew what expenses we skylarks and squirrls have, Torvald.".  On top of that she seems to be very conceded and likes making things dramatic and about herself for instance, Mrs. Linde talked about her hard life then Nora spoke about her amazing last few years were.  Then Nora's very old friend Mrs. Linde had came over for a visit, but seeing that they had not spoken in years I felt like something was suspicious with Mrs. Linde. As I kept reading it turned out Mrs. Linde did have a reason for coming, she wanted Helmer to give her a job at the bank because of his advancement at the bank. 
The last part of act one is when I found things getting exciting and surprising. Nora had saved Helmer's life by getting them on a vacation to Italy. Nora had also lied to Helmer about how she received the money, and she had actually borrowed the money and forged Helmer's signature from a man named Krogstad. Then Krogstad had come to Nora privately after speaking to Helmer about his job's jeopardy that he was going to give to Mrs. Linde, blackmailed Nora to convincing Helmer to keep Krogstad's position at the bank or he would inform Helmer of Nora's little secret. Now I'm waiting to see how see will get herself out of this big mess she made for herself.
