Act ll

                  In act two of "A Doll’s House", many elements were depicted that left the reader wondering what will subsequent to these elements. For example in act l Nora is protrayed as a "scatterbrain" or a person that are mentally unstable. But we later discover that she is not the "featherbrain" that Torvald thinks she is instead she is excessively smart and sneaky.She manages to borrow money from Krogstad in a very discret manner. As we read on, we find that Dr. Rank is in intolerable pain because he has tubercloisis. He tells Nora of his love for her. Dr.Rank's love for Nora can be proven by when Nora says "You’re a fine one Dr. Rank. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself, now that the lamps come in."
               Krogstad is still blackmailing Nora but Mrs, Linde thinks she can talk to him and stop his wrong doings. He talks to Nora about giving Torvald a letter filled with all of the truth about the forgery and loan, which could ruin his reputation! Torvald will be furios if he ever sees this letter , I wonder how will Nora stop him from reading Krogstad letter. As the story progresses Nora tries to stop Torvald from obtaining the mail by performing the tarantella. This is were Nora decides the only way to fix everything is to commit suicide! This tells us that Nora is facing excruciating pain with her inner self!
