Act III A Doll's House

It was only a matter of time before Nora snapped out of her innocent act. She hadn't loved him all along and he's begging her to stay. Honestly, he deserves better.

What made me laugh was how Torvald was speaking of Dr. Rank... how he was a grey shadow behind Torvald and Nora's happiness.

A Doll's House, Act III

I kind of didn't expect the ending, but it makes sense that Nora wanted to leave. I see a growth in her, in this last act. She took a stand for what she wanted and to be independent. I didn't see her much as a child anymore. Even the way she spoke, it didn't have the same tone, it was more mature. Since Nora was childish throughout the play, this ending was kind of like her growing up. Her husband didnt want her to leave, the same way a parent doesnt want their kid to leave when they go away to college or move out. I dont think she should have left her family behind, though. She could have easily made moves to become independent while still mending her relationship with her husband.

Act III of A Doll's House

  One thing that really stood out for me while I was reading act III was when Torvald said "I'd gladly work day and night for you, Nora,  and endure sorrow and poverty for your sake. But no mam would sacrifice his honor for the one he loves" ( Ibsen 1170). Torvald wouldn't give up his man pride and sacrifice himself because 'no real man would do that'.
   Through out the whole play Torvald lives in this bubble where he wants to stay away from "ugly thing" such as death, debt, and inmoral behavior. It is ironic because Nora is supposed to be the doll who doesn't know anything about the world and is naive but it is quite the opposite. Nora knows a lot she sacrificed herself for her husband, she knew what was right and she knew that there's certain things that you can avoid and that the "ugly things" are part of life. At the end of the day Nora finally has the guts to leave Torvald and surprisingly leaves her kids too. This is also ironic because at the beginning oif the play Nora was portrayed as the traditional woman that doesn't know anything except shopping, pleasuring her husband, and being a housewife and mother but at the end she ended up being the opposite of this "traditional woman" picture.

In Act III of A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen it surprised me to find out that Mrs. Linde and Krogstad dated. Ibsen writes "What was there to understand, except what the whole world could see--a heartless woman drops a man when a better catch comes along?" (1156). I didn't make any connections to why Mrs. Linde would talk to Krogstad for Nora to help her out of her situation. I wasn't surprised Mrs. Linde didn't want Krogstad to take the letter back as Ibsen writes "I'll ask for my letter back." (1158). I think Mrs. Linde really wants to help Nora by letting Torvald find out about the money Nora borrowed.

A Doll's House: Act 3 by Frances Ferreira

It was really sad how Nora suddenly decided to abondon everything and that it only took one conversation with her husband to go from seeing him as the man she's known and loved for over eight years to seeing him as a complete stranger and then says to his face that she no longer loves him. What I am not clear with is, what exactly made Nora react this way? It was so unexpected and she immediately made the decision to leave him. She even asked to exchange their rings which was a sign that she wants nothing to do with him anymore. I perceived Torvald very heartbroken; it all happened too quick to even digest what was going on.

Act III Diana Barbecho

I really like the three acts. I did not expect that Nora was gonna leave Helmer after all the sacrifices he did for her, after all the hard work he put on to give Nora a good life. When Nora talks to Helmer saying that she doesnt love him anymore i got very surprised, but she has the reason because he treats her as a kid, i know that that is very nice from a husband but Helmer should not have done that because he did not let Nora be a real woman not as she wanted to be. All the duties she was supposed to do was done for the maids or for the nursemaid.
Another thing i like of the acts is the romance that Mrs. Kristine and Krogstad, that surprises me a lot. I was not expecting this kind of end.

Act III: noelia lara

After I completed this play, I can say that I absolutely loved it! I did not expect the finally. Especially the romance between Krogstad and Mrs.Linde. I was also suprised how Nora ended up leaving and despite her crimes and Travold finding out, I still felt their emotions so powerfully. It was the first time a honestly saw how much Travold's love for Nora was. He didnt want to let her go despite knowing what she had done to Harm him and the family. This was an interesting play. My Question would be could Nora have forgiven her ownslef and maybe started fresh with Travold after everything she had done? Was their something they could have done for the childrens sake aswell?
