hello fellow bloggers!.Act II

Well after completey reading Act II of "A dollshouse" by Henrik Ibsen ,I must say that this play keeps me at the edge of my seat. In the opening of Act II we see Nora completely frantic about her future Helmers wife. In Act I we learn that Nora has forged the signature of her father in order to obtain a large sum of cash to save her husband's life.Krogstad ( a worker at the bank where Helmer Torvald is the manager) gives Nora the money in hope of keeping his job as well as gaining back his reputation that he lost because of the very same thing Nora had done.The only problem is that Helmer is so repulsed by the sliminess of Krogstad that he doesnt want him at the bank anymore and is going to replace him with Kristina (Nora's friend).Not staying true to her word,Nora is afraid that Krogstad will tell Helmer about all the secrets she hid from him.
But as the the ActII comes to a close Nora confesses to Kristina all her wrong and all the secrets.Unmoved by what she has heard,Kristina goes to confront Krogstad.Many questions have a derived from this Act . What history does Kristina and Krogstad have since she isnt afraid to confront him? ,Also why is Nora so afraid to loose her abusive husband? His riches?, His power? Is her need for him a desperate cry for help and lack of independence?Or is it something else?"Think you I am no stronger than my sex?" (Portia in Julius Caesar) a famous quote that relates how some women may limit themselves because of their gender and the constant abuse of the opposite gender .Nora in my opinion limits herself because she is just a women in Torvalds's and the rest of the worlds eyes, nothing more and until she sees her potential she will not go far.
