Alternate Ending

5 Years Later...

Nora in the past five years worked nonstop. She proved to the whole world that she was not incompetent. In the mean time her children and their father missed her very much. Every day she received two letters, one from her husband and one from all of her children. However she left them all unopened. Nora new that these evasions were only temporary and were to benefit her children in the end. Nora did not want anything to convince her to go back before she proved herself in front of the whole world. She went to collage and completed a P.H.D in business management. Then she opened a small import and export office. This office with Nora's intelligence grew to become the biggest import and export office in all of Europe. Nora became very wealthy.

Nora also met a really nice man in her 5 years away from her family. His name is Dr. James. Dr. James is everything but unperturbed. He is very willing to appreciate Nora as a strong and determined women. Nora and Dr. James decided to get married after she gets a formal divorce from her current husband. The father of Nora's children does not want to divorce Nora because he realized that she was the best wife anyone could ever ask for. It is true that now he has a good paying job and he is very successful. However it would be accurate if you say he is the saddest person on the planet.

THE END!       

Act 2

Could you believe how much of jerk Krogstad is? He is black mailing Nora even though he was put in the same situation. Krogstad says that he wants to prove himself to be a good person in society, yet he is not acting like a good person. If he really wants to go up "the ladder" then why doesn't he give Nora a break. Krogstad said, "I want to get into the Bank again, in a higher position. Your husband must make a place for me—" A good person does not take advantage of a situation just to look better in front of society. He does not mind making every one's life excruciating just to improve his own life. I believe that Krogstad deserves the image he has in society. He is most defiantly not above reproach. He did not have a good reason to comet a crime. Nora did it to save her husband. 

Krogstad wants to tell Nora's husband about the forged signature even though he knows it will ruin an entire household. I can't understand how some one who wants to be a better person could think the way Krogstad does. If he ruins Nora's life then people will find out and then he will be looked down upon even more. He will have put Nora in an even more intolerable situation. Everyone will remember him as the cold hearted person who stabbed his friend in the back. At that point he will have no chance to gain that respect again. Compare Nora and Krogstad's situation, who had the better reason?      

Act 1

     When we first started to read A Doll's House, I thought that Nora was one of these old fashion woman. The way her husband talked to her and the way she talked to her husband, I had no choose but to think this of her. However, when we continued to read it was revealed to us that Nora is an intelligent woman. She worked so hard in order to save her husband's life. She even forged her father's signature to get the money that they needed. Nora proved to everyone that she was able to solve a problem without the help of a man.
    Also, Nora's husband thinks that she is squandering left and right. Henrik Ibsen, Nora's husband says to Nora, "It's a sweet little bird, but it gets through a terrible amount of money. You wouldn't believe how much it costs a man when he's got a little song-bird like you!" In this quote he is saying that Nora is pretty much spoiled and does not know how to handle money discreetly. Even Nora's friend at the beginning thought that she is one with no responsibilities at all. Nora then tells Mrs. Linde how she saved her husband's life and how she worked so hard to pay off the debt. While Nora explains this Mrs. Linde looks at her incredulously. Decide whether Nora made a good decision when she told Mrs. Linde about borrowing money to save her husband's life.

First Assignment

Hello! My name is Halah Mohamed. I have like watching The Tragedy of Julius Caesar most in our English class this year. Now onto A Doll's House. Henrik Ibsen lived between the year of 1828 to the year 1906. Ibsen's birthday is March 20,1828. He was born in Skien. Ibsen's father was an extremely respected general merchant until he went bankrupt in the year 1836. As soon as Henrik Ibsen turned 15, he moved to Grimstad. He supported himself by working as an apothecary's apprentice. He also studied during the nights for admission to the University.When Ibsen was only 23, was appointed director and playwright to a new theater of Bergen. 
Ibsen wrote A Doll's House during the time he was in Rome. This was in the year 1879. This play was preformed all throughout Europe and translated in many languages. Ibsen is responsible for spreading the realistic drama in a different way. Many believe that the plot of this play is based on Ibsen's real life. The author had liked a girl with the name of Laura kieler. She married some one else and a while later her husband gets sick and they diced to go on a vacation. Then she tells her husband the story and demands a separation. In the play Nora never brakes the news to her husband and she never returns home. I believe that the title of the Play relates to the house Nora meets her lover in.
