Act 3

In chapter three of the play, everything has turned for the better in Nora's way mostly. After Nora's friend talked to krogstad about compromising with what Nora did in her past life, krogstad has become a changed person. Mr. Helmer found the letter and Nora had to explain herself about the entire story. Mr. Helmer's personality has really come out in this act. To me both Nora and her husband are self absorbed, but he thinks he is the highest of all. He thinks Nora is helpless and is nothing without him and that its her responsibility for her to be taking care and obeying him and her husband. This goes right back to showing me how females were treated back then, no freedom or type of responsibility. Also Nora explained to her husband that she believes he treats her like a little doll, where he can do whatever he wants to her. She compares her present life to her life as a child, because her father treated her as a doll also. She has always been under someone's comand is baisically what she explained to her husband. Eventually she made up her mind of leaving both her husband and children, baisically the life she knows now, to find herself, her true self. That was the smartest decision Nora has definately made to me in this entire play, she really actually made a decision to finally do something on her own. I believe this play shows how when someone is cooped up in a life for too long, the same type of life, they eventually want to break through and do things on their own, just liek Nora did. =]
