In the first scene where Torvald and Nora are talking about money it is established that Torvald is the breadwinner of the family which is typical of the 19th century. It is also established that he has power over Nora and treats her as though she is less than him. We can see this through the way he addresses her with nicknames and the comments he makes about her such as "Nora, Nora just like a woman!". The entirety of act 1 is used for building up the story and getting ready for it to eventually end badly. We learn about Nora's debt and how Krogstad is threatening to blackmail her if he was not to keep his position at the bank. By telling us all this in act 1 it creates a lot of dramatic irony within the next acts.

Nora really values the ability to make her children really happen and really value this time with her children. She wants to make her children as happy as possible.

She was really happy with being demeaned by her husband and she didn't really mind being called a sky-lark and all other animal names. She was practically doing everything that Torvald wanted

This is a key part of act 1 which reveals to the audience that Nora has committed fraud in order to take out a loan. Krogstad uses this information to his advantage by warning Nora that he would tell Torvald about her wrongdoings if he lost his job at the bank that Torvald was the manager of.

Nora is terrified of the thought of Krogstad and the outcomes that will come out of the letter that he will send.

Nora's mood is shown as angry and frustrated at the beginning of the act, rather than being proud of her responsibilities towards Torvald's illness in the middle of Act 1, she feels maddened that they have led to consequences like this.

"Look!"                                               "Silk stockings."                          "...No, no, no, you can only look at the feet."

# data[].attributes.body
She is being very manipulative to try and get her way, in this case she is seducing Dr Rank knowing his interest in her to get help with the whole Krogstad business.

"Now I have the courage." "You can't frighten me! A precious pampered little thing like you..."                   "I'll show you! I'll show you!"

# data[].attributes.body
Nora gives an impression of being courageous against Krogstad's doing, and acts as if she was defending Torvald. But out of Krogstad's sight, we see that she's afraid of her husband finding the letter, which shows that her loyalty towards him is still lasting. Of course, that is until the dance party...

"How did you know I was thinking of that?"

Nora; like Krogstad. thinks of suicide and running away from all of this. She does say she doesn't have the courage, but fully deny that escape when Krogstad mentions that her reputation is in Torvalds hands even after she is gone. This shows she is aware of the reputations in society despite her uneducated state portraying what she thinks is most important in life.

You shouldn't have done that. You must let things take their course. Because really it's a case for rejoicing, waiting like this for the miracle.

After Mrs Linde leaves a note for Krogstad, Nora says this as she believes that demanding isn't very right and that things mostly get better if they are resolved themselves. This quote might have a connection with why she broke up with Torvald after the dance - he wants her to dance for him and he makes such happen forcefully, which annoys her.

"Tell me what to do, keep me right-as you always do."

"Tell me what to do, keep me right-as you always do."

# data[].attributes.body
This is another example of how Nora is being manipulative. She feeds into Torvalds pride on purpose to prevent him from opening the mail. It also shows that she is now aware of the fact that he finds dominance and prideful in controlling her.

Act 3 is where the main conversation takes place. The conversation involves Nora talking with Torvald. Nora forces him to sit down so they can have a serious talk, not a playful one. As the conversation continues, Nora becomes more bold and confident with her words. Nora talks about how she wished her miracle would happen but didn't resulting in her realising that Torvald never loved her. This leads to Nora leaving Torvald and the children.

# data[].attributes.body
This shows Nora even at the slightest starting to challenge Torvald, she is also starting to really question her relationship with Torvald. This is the begining of Nora becoming herself and starting to stand up to Torvald.

"Go away, Torvald! Please leave me alone. I won't have it"

"Go away, Torvald! Please leave me alone. I won't have it"

This shows that Nora is starting to use more bold words and go against Torvald more. Torvald's respone after this is quite shocked as he has been so used to Nora just playing along but now she is rising up to him and not being Torvalds 'pet'

"Exactly, you don't understand me. And I have never understood you, either --- until tonight. No, don't interrupt. I just want you to listen to what I have to say. We are going to have things out, Torvald."

# data[].attributes.body
Instead of turning the focus of the conversation to something else like she used to childishly. She was serious about the situation and is starting to have my confidence towards him. Instead of just complying and listening to Torvald, she is now able to speak up for herself.

Right after Torvald sees the letter from korgstad he gets very angry and is showing a lot of emotion, he also becomes quite aggressive. It can be seen that he is talking a lot more than Nora is, Nora is just responding to Torvald. The main content of Torvald's dialogue is just about his reputation and how if people found out, his reputation that he worked so hard for would go down. He pays no attention nor does he try to truly understand Nora's intent with the loan

# data[].attributes.body
Once the next letter from korgstad comes about his taking back what he said and sending his regrets and apologies Torvald becomes very relieved and feels that he is saved, this shows that he cares a lot and too much about his reputation. he states that he forgives Nora for doing what she did but he only is forgiving her because his reputation is saved instead of truly understanding why Nora did what she did

"Listen, Torvald, from what I've heard, when a wife leaves her husband's house as I am doing now, he is absolved by law of all responsibility for her."

"Listen, Torvald, from what I've heard, when a wife leaves her husband's house as I am doing now, he is absolved by law of all responsibility for her."

# data[].attributes.body
This affects Torvald as Nora is known to be a compliant wife but is now rebelling in a way. She is no longer listening to her husband and chooses to be independent. This also means she no longer chooses to rely on Torvald.

"Excatly. You don't understand me. And I have never understood you, either - until tonight. No, don't interrupt. I just want you to listen to what I have to say. "

# data[].attributes.body
This is one of the major 'breakthroughs' that Nora has, here she is shown telling Torvald to listen to her and her tone in which she speaks is serious. Here she is standing up to Torvald and really starting to go against him. She also is starting to have the realisation about what their relationship really is. Torvald is really taken back and confused by this as in the late 19th century the wife should always listen to the husband and not challenge anything and Torvald truly believes this and he is also very stereotypical and judgemental which explains his initial response and his thinking over time.

"But you neither think nor talk like the man I would want to share my life with."

This shows that Nora has now realised that she has realised that she no longer loves Torvald. It was more of a thought that she loved him than feelings. She is more straightforward and knows that the right thing to do is to leave the household.

"I said 'no'. I don't accept things from strangers."

"I said 'no'. I don't accept things from strangers."

This shows that Nora has accepted the fact that Torvald had never truly loved her. So, she no longer wants to associate with him and has chosen to rely on herself and live her own life without being controlled.
