So far we have read Act I in A Doll's House, we meet Nora, Helmer Torvalt (Nora's husband), Mrs. Linde, Dr. Rank, and Krogstad. Nora, is a women who acts like a little kid and acts like she can't do anything without her husband consent, when she really can because she signed something without her husband knowing and forging her bedridden father's signature to save his life. She is not working because money is handed to her from her father and husband so she never felt the pain of hard labor in a work force, and when either of them give her money its like a big pay check handing down to her. She doesn't really have a mom figure because when she's talking to her kids, she talks to them like they're her dolls. Helmer, is in love with his wife Nora even though he criticize her about squandering her money around, being irresponsible, and treating her like she's a little girl who needs her allowances here and there when it is asked for. Mrs. Linde, is an old friend of Nora's who came to ask for a favor from Nora's husband to get her a job in the bank he works in, and who has a good head on her shoulder it seems like because she knows want she wants, and is independent unlike Nora who depend on others. Dr. Rank, is a family friend and a doctor who is sick with a illness. Krogstad, as we read was the mystery guy that Nora was talking about to Kristina (Mrs. Linde) about how she borrowed twelve hundred dollars, and he's blackmailing Nora in order for him to keep his job because he got in trouble with the law, and doesn't want to get fired by Mr. Helmer. This whole story basically reminds me of soap operas because theirs a lot of drama and lies in between which is bound to come out in a way that the characters wont like but it should set them free like the saying says.
