Character Essay: Nora Helmer
Character Essay Nora Helmer
In the play A dolls house, there are several characters with different personalities that affect the ending result of the play. Out of all these characters there is one character that stands out, this character is Nora Helmer. The reason for Nora to stand out of the rest of the character is because that she dramatically alters the play plus the play plot is very focused and based on her, she is to a further extent the main character.
Nora is woman that is said to be a person that spends lot money, this is proven when Torvald repeatedly says “Spendthrift” this shows that she likes to spend money on possessions. The truth is that despite what Torvald thinks of her, actually only spends the money for the good of the family this is proven when she uses the money on buying a Christmas tree and decorations. Throughout the play Nora asks Torvald for money this is proven in this conversation
“if you really want to give me something, you might-you might…”
Torvald replies “well out with it!!”
Nora says “You might give me money”
From this we could tell that Nora likes money instead of a present she wanted money. This shows that Nora who had always served and entertained Torvald wanted some entertainment of her own and the only way she can have that was money, this shows that she believed that money will lead her to freedom and power which would lead to my next point about Nora.
Nora is a person that thinks about her loved ones very importantly a example is that when Torvald was told that he would die Nora borrowed money off Krogstad in order to save his life even if it means losing the money she loved so dearly this shows that she prefers money over her husbands life. Nora knew that Torvald never would agree with borrowing money so she decided to not tell him and borrow, this shows that Nora has the ability to act on herself, this would be talked later. By borrowing money, Nora must have her father’s signature for safe keeping
