Analyzation on Act I

Well I can't lie, as the play went on, it DID get more enjoyable and more mind-boggling. As Nora persisted on with her mischief, I feel as if Torvald slowly but surely is unraveling his wife's secrets, but unconsciously. Nora's going to start going insane with what Krogstad was saying to her! But, that too could also be all mind games. She can easily drive herself to the edge with stress!
When Krogstad posed the threat of exposing Nora's secret if he can't keep his job, I thought it was fair at first, but then realized it was a very shady thing to do. Most people will look at it and see that Krogstad doesn't want anyone to go through the same situation and coming clean will just be a better way, but if she is to come clean, she should do it herself. On the contrary, I also believe Krogstad can be playing mind games to make Nora so stressed out that she pours out the secret herself. What's to come in the next few acts, I'm not sure. But, I am excited to find out!


The lyrics to this song can fit very well with Nora and how she's keeping a secret.

I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well

I was not ready for the fall

Too blind to see the writing on the wall
