A Doll's House: Act I

I find it very ironic in the beginning of the play, the couple talk about their financial issues but yet they have a maid.

Nora seems a little childlike to me. She's desperate for approval when she's trying to prove to Kristine that she isn't useless. She does almost everything she's told and obeys her husband. But now that she sees how Helmer feels about Krogstad's crime she's now worried about how he would feel if he were to find out that she's done the same thing. Which reflects when a child has done something bad they're afraid to tell their parent because of the punishment/ disappointment the parent may feel. I also see the irony of the title "A doll's house" while it describes all the lies and deceit that has taken place.
