https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7 Pick two (2) characters from A Doll's House and then choose actors or celebrities (living or dead) to play your chosen characters. Post photos of your chosen actors here. Then, explain why (3+ sentences--and edit your work!) this person would make a good Nora, Torvald, Christine, Krogstad, or Rank. What is it about this person--character traits, look, performances in previous roles, personal life--that would allow them to play the role you've chosen for them? en-us 2022-01-24 18:47:38 UTC 2026-02-11 01:49:30 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/2709.png https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009891311 I would cast classy trisha paytas as nora because this persona hits the idea of nora on the head. She's wearing neutral tones with blonde hair but that little pop of eyeshadow could reflect her need to escape and secret debt.]]> 2022-01-24 22:04:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009891311 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009892023 I believe Jacob Elordi would play a good Krogstad because of his looks and because he generally plays characters of similar personalities. Throughout the play, Krogstad is considered the "bad guy" and the cause of all of Nora's worries. In a similar way, Jacob Elordi's character, Nate, in Euphoria tends to be the "bad guy" and the one that causes other characters' worries. However, at the end of the play, he ends up relieving Nora of her worries by not threatening to take her to court. Similarly, Jacob Elordi's characters are capable of change. Thus, he would play a great Krogstad. ]]> 2022-01-24 22:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009892023 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009893213 I think Florence Pugh would make a great Nora because of her roles in Midsommer and Black Widow. In Midsommer, Florence does an amazing job of portraying a woman who does not have a respected role in the social circle around her. In Black Widow she portrays a very strong woman. She is also physically small which would fit Torvald's birdlike descriptions of her. --Ella Venne]]> 2022-01-24 22:06:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009893213 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009893620 I would cast Troy Bolton Trisha Paytas as torvald cus hes pretty standard you know black polo high brown hair but that face of disgust? that's torvald when fake people literlly make him physically ill]]> 2022-01-24 22:06:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009893620 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009894820 I would have him play Helmer because he is very tall and with sharp masculine features. He also has a rude type of look.  He usually plays characters that are aggressive especially in his recent show "Big Little Lies" where he is mentally and physically abusive. I know Helmer does not physically abuse Nora, but he has a domineering presence. He constantly belittles and controls her. ]]> 2022-01-24 22:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009894820 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009894908 I think Kirstin Dunst would be an excellent Nora. She's excellent at playing characters that come off flighty and childish but actually have surprising strength and depth. Her performance in Marie Antoinette is a perfect audition for the role of Nora. She's young and controlled by the incompetent men in her life, but has a surprising strength and care for her husband. Kirstin Dunst also has a delicate look to her that feels like it would fit Nora. - Anya]]> 2022-01-24 22:08:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009894908 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009895671 Leonardo would make a good Torvald because he is able to capture the look of an upper middle class banker. Additionally, Leonardo has excelled in past roles where he plays an insufferable man, one example being in Wolf of Wall Street. Also, just as a fun fact, Ella Minton's dad went sky diving with him for Leo's 18th birthday.]]> 2022-01-24 22:08:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009895671 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009895862 When I think of Christine, I think of her as being a strong, smart woman which reminds me of Emma Watson.

Torvald and Joe Goldberg remind me of each other because they are very controlling over their significant others and can be very manipulative. Joe Goldberg has a much more extreme method but I think Penn Badgley would be able to capture Torvald well. ]]> 2022-01-24 22:11:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009898151 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009898237 I would cast Dwayne Johnson as Dr. Rank because I feel like they are physically built the same and are unconcerned with what people think of him. I think both Dr. Rank and "The Rock" are comical and always brightens peoples days.]]> 2022-01-24 22:11:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009898237 ellaminton22 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009899703 Torvald, like Gru, can be moody and assertive. Nora, just like Lucy, is energetic, a good mom, and bubbly. In the play, we see Torvald portrayed as the bad guy, and we root for Nora. Gru is the ultimate bad guy. You could even cast Nora as a minion instead of as Lucy. Maybe Bob or Stuart? ]]> 2022-01-24 22:12:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009899703 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009899826 Emily Blunt would be able to play Nora because she is attractive, and capable of portraying a woman with a more independent side. Also, because she is a mother, she knows how children act, and how to play with them. She could use that experience to capture Nora's more childish aspects. Emily is overall an incredibly skilled actor. Also, having Emily Blunt as a brunette presents an interesting contrast to Leo (who is blond). Sometimes, blondes have the stereotype of being less intelligent, so having Emily Blunt be brunette would emphasize her independence and possibly lead the viewer to take her more seriously. ]]> 2022-01-24 22:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009899826 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009900065 I would choose Leslie Mann because she plays bubbly, clumsy characters that are seen as pretty.  She is also very feminine-looking and animated.  This is what I imagine Nora to look like because she is pretty with charisma and confidence on her face. She also is smart and knows what she needs to do and how to act to get what she wants in life. . Her looks may be deceiving to some people. ]]> 2022-01-24 22:13:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009900065 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009901788 Gyllenhaal is just up to no good. He seems like the type of person to do something fraudulent and then blackmail other people.  I think that he would make a good Krogstad because of the way he looks. I also think of Jake Gyllenhaal's role in Spiderman as Mysterio is very similar to Krogstad's role because Mysterio's whole thing is fooling everyone into thinking that he is a good guy and he creates a simulation to make him look good. I feel like Krogstad does the same because he wants Nora to paint him out to be a good guy to her husband so that Krogstad can keep his job. :)]]> 2022-01-24 22:14:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009901788 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009903177 Jake Gyllenhaal has had a lot of backlash lately because of his relationship with Taylor Swift. From her side of the story he is portrayed as manipulative and only saw her as the idea of her he had in his head (a "never needy ever lovely jewel"). This is very similar to Torvald only caring about Nora's physical appearance and how he no longer cared about the fraud once he learned there would be no consequence. --Ella Venne]]> 2022-01-24 22:16:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009903177 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009903379 ok so after her problematic era with her rich dead hubby she got the bag and settled with Moses tbh Moses is kinda sketch and has probably liked trish for a while but new trish tells him to cancel problem trish because she hates her but the play will make it look like it was out of the kindness of her heart and like trisha she's pretending to be a good person]]> 2022-01-24 22:16:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009903379 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009904276 I think Blake Lively and Nora have similar talking mannerisms.

I feel like she is a very overlooked Kardashian but she is capable of a lot. When people get to see Khloe Kardashian on KUWTK they see that she is a very confident and funny person and usually takes initiative in the family. She also chooses to stay with Tristan Thompson who has cheated on her which is kinda similar to Nora and Torvald. Although Torvald doesn't cheat on Nora he treats her poorly and doesn't see her for her worth. She also relates to Khloe because Nora is an overlooked character in terms of her capabilities but she proves that she is very much a mature adult considering what she has done for her husband and how she is trying to protect her family from her mistake.]]> 2022-01-24 22:18:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009905253 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009905472 I think Matt Damon would be a good casting for Torvald. There's something about him that feels like if you pushed him hard enough he would break, which feels very Torvald. He might feel a little out of place with the historical setting (he feels like a bit too modern of an actor) but there's something secretly horrible and shatter-able about him. He just fits the vibe of Torvald somehow. - Anya]]> 2022-01-24 22:18:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009905472 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009907907 Crying trish is fr so rank lol she cries and does stuff for attention literally just like dr.rank like you're telling me dude was in love with nora all this time and then confessed his love to her I know damn well he cried his eyes out just like trish plus he's about to die and the trish equivalent is getting canceled which happens a lot]]> 2022-01-24 22:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009907907 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009920609 after being on dr.phil trisha defiantly learned a lot and i think that filled with the knowledge of the great dr.phil she would make a pretty great nurse]]> 2022-01-24 22:34:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2009920609 ewilkinson23 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2012260175 Dear All,

It could be because that I barely know any actresses/actors, that I chose her but I remember her scene in her movie Salt and she played an extremely strong young women. I believe that Nora's determination would be able to be portrayed well by Angelina Jolie. Also with the fact that she's also left her ex-husband and has children. ]]> 2022-01-26 00:15:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2012420175 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2012426368 The reason why I chose Sadie was because I think she's really strong mentally and can really stand through a lot. It's shown in her character in Stranger Things and I think in real life as well because as an actress who's so young she really has to deal with a lot. And I think that Christine is also a women who can deal with a lot and is really strong. - Michelle Zhou ]]> 2022-01-26 00:21:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2012426368 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2038752088 I think that Kristen Bell would fit the character of Nora because of her role in The Good Place. Like in the Good Place she fights for her what she believes in and is also in the same age range as Nora would be in the play. She gives off at first a very not so smart woman, but proves herself through actions that she is in fact someone respectable. Because Kristen has played a character already so similar to Nora Helmer, she would be great to play Nora. ~REMI HAYASHI]]> 2022-02-09 19:39:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2038752088 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/hvt9bjoajqnpzt7/wish/2038765018 Mark Ruffalo would be great playing Nils Krogstad in The Doll's House. Since he has played as Hulk, he can be a person looking like he is going mad and almost like a villain. Like Hulk, at first, he seems like someone who can be harmful to the good, but later we find out he is on the protagonist's side. Similarly, Krogstad has been blackmailing Nora, but later he forgives Torvald and Nora towards the end of the play. Ruffalo can look worn down which is perfect how Krogstad is portrayed.
