act 1

In a Doll's House, I find the main character, Nora to be very smart and sneaky. She depicts herself as a very clueless woman but in reality she is the one whos discretly in control. Nora is also a great liar this can be determined by the way shes shoves the macarones in Ms.Linde after lying about her and also the lie that she telds Helmer. She is also self-centered, loves to squander money, and talks about her success a lot.By the way Torvald (Nora's husband) treats Nora, you can tell he thinks she's a "feather brain"(pg 148). Cleary Helmer hates to be in amortization. He is sexist and doesn't like it when women get in man business. This can be justified by when Torvald says,"Nora, Nora, just like a woman."( p.149) '

Mrs.Linde is introduced in the middle of Act 1.She gives off the impression as a nice innocent lady, but I believe that will change as the story goes on. Shes is an old friend who also a widow and has lived a hard life. She is looking for work and is hoping Krogstad can give it to her.Krogstad ( a co-worker of Helmer) has committed forgery and tried to sweet talk his way out of it. This is why Helmer doesnt like him! He is also black mailing for comitting forgery. Nora is now faced with a hard situation, should she help her old friend get athe job or save was seems to be a perfect relationship? If I was in Nora's shoes I would tell the truth because he could not only use this to blackmail her for his job but many other occassions as well.
