Act II Post :)

SO, Act II has been one for the ages. We are seeing the true mentalities and feelings come out of each character. Nora attempts to convince Torvald not to take the disreputable Krogstad’s position away at the bank.  She knows that if his position is taken away, he will tell Torvald about the whole borrowing money and forging signature situation. She pleads to Torvald, but he does not budge and stands firm. Nora knows she will face retribution if her actions are revealed. Also, Dr. Rank visits and Nora begins to act very flirtatious towards him. She shows him her silk stockings and Rank begins to develop the wrong ideas. Rank confesses his compassion for Nora, and this turns into an awkward situation because I think she did not expect such a response. She mistakenly led him on and he misread the entire situation. Or maybe not. Do you believe there is something more to Nora and Rank’s relationship?

            Krogstad finally decides to leave the letter in Torvald letter box, after he has received his letter of Job-termination. I feel he was left with no other choice and it was the right thing to do. He gave Nora the choice, but she could not woman –up and tell Torvald what had been going on. Honestly, I believe that if she would just let go of the secret that has been eating away at her, she would feel so relieved. She would be at ease with herself and things would become much clearer, but she is so blinded by her hysterics and paranoid feelings that she doesn’t understand that she did the RIGHT thing. But, she ends up trying to stall Torvald by asking him for help with the dance she is performing at the Tarantella. Do you believe Nora will ever come to her senses about just admitting her mistake to Torvald and hoping for the best outcome, whether it hurts or helps her, finally be lifted of that burden? Feedback ???
