Act 1 Post , A Doll's House

After reading the first act of the very interesting play all of the characters begin to show us who they are and what their intentions are. Also, the plot of the story is very well described in the first act of the story as well. We meet Nora, a very smart women that did a very brave thing to save her husbands life, by borrowing money from someone by herself, which wasn’t acceptable at that time, forging her fathers signature on an important document. We also learn that she loves to go out squandering all her money, or so Travold, her husband seems to think so. At the beginning of the play we see that Nora is popping macaroons in her mouth. Her husband on the other hand does not allow macaroons in the house, the macaroons can symbolize Nora’s deceit to her husband, and all the things she hides from him. Nora is extremely intelligent since she has everyone thinking that she’s this woman who thinks she’s very ravishing and she loves to spend money and she’s this woman who doesn’t care about anyone or anything but in reality she’s a caring person who has a few tricks up her sleeves.
The Plot of the story is that while Nora is supposedly getting ready for Christmas she’s eating macaroons and two of her husband’s friends walk in. They go inside to immediately talk to her husband while Kristina, Nora’s friend from a while ago. Soon, her friend realizes what a carefree life she’s having and how she didn’t have to worry about anything. This is when she starts to tell Kristina about the selfless deed that she did to save her husbands life. Based on what she did she’s being black mailed into making her husband give the man that she borrowed the money from a permanent job at the bank. I believe that If Nora would of just came clean and told her husband what she had done right after his life was saved, he would have been mad for a while but after that maybe he would have been thankful that he has someone in this world that cares about him enough to actually do what ever she can to save her husbands life. Of course Torvold would have paid back the person she borrowed money from immediately after he found out which would of ended their problems. Since that’s not how it happened the mood of the play is being symbolized by the Christmas tree which isn’t quite a happy mood it’s more of a mysterious, weird kind of mood.
