I do like Nora's character, even though she is hiding important information from her husband, but this was to better his health. The other things that she is fibbing about are just little white lies that every couple tell each other as not to let the other person do e.g. eating the macaroons. Nora is risking everything that she has just so that she can have the man that she loves with her. She does not seem to fully understand the consequences of signing the bond with Krogstad until he comes to her house and blackmails her to tell her husband to keep his job at the bank.
This is an extremely tough situation to be in. To try and protect your husband from the deceitfulness that you have created by trying to persuade him to keep the man that you created this deceitfulness with employed at the bank. I would not be able to carry on this type of lie as I am a complete worry wort and it would consume me to the point that my other half would see it on my face and I would have to run away or come clean. I can understand why Nora would want to run away. Sometimes it is easier to leave your troubles behind rather than face them. It does seem like a cowardly thing to do, but some people are not able to face the truth because it can be too painful for them knowing that they have let a person that they love down.
