Act I of "A Doll's House" capture my attention. It is very interesting to read how a woman does everything to save his husband's life but at the same it concerns me that she did not read the complete paper she signed. People are supposed to read every paper they get in order of signed and agree with the main points of it.
Another important point in "A Doll's House" is the husband's attitude, he is very gentle with his wife. He is worried of his family's well-being. He clearly knows he is the man who has to support the family so he makes efforts to keep them happy and full of love.
When Nora speaks to Krogstad she gets very worried because he awares Nora that he could open his mouth if she does not help him to get his job back. So he could tell Nora's husband that she got the money from him and not from her dad as Helmer thinks. Here, Nora even gets more worried because Helmer questions Nora and he says that kids who have a dishonest mother are usually corrupt when they grow.
Since Helmer doesn't know anything about the money Nora is preoccupaid because then nothing would be the same as it is now.
This is a gender inequality because the one that is the breadwinner is Helmer and for him just knowing that his wife got borrowed money to help him could be very disappointing. He would not feel that masculine as he feels now. He is supposed to be the strongest and only breadwinner not his wife. She just have to stay home and take care of the kids while he makes money.
