Act II

         In Act two, there were many scenes that surprise and concern to me. It was pretty mess up that Nora was "flirting" with Dr.Rank just so she can make him give the money that she needed for Krogstad. I feel bad for  Dr. Ranks since he told Nora that he had feelings for her and she just suddenly shuts down and refuses to ask her favor. The right thing that Nora did was that she didn't take advantage of Dr. Rank by using him for money since he love her. I was disgust that Nora only flirt with him just for the money.
"Good gracious you are being absurd- Now be nice Dr. Rank and tomorrow you'll see how beautifully I shall dance and you can tell yourself that it's all for you - and for Torvald too of course." (Ibsen 193)
    
         In the scene where Krogstad had enough with this and put the letter in Torvald's letterbox about the forge signature and how Krogstad will ruin the Helmer's family, I felt bad for Nora, crying and knowing that her life would be a mess if her husband read the letter. Luckily that Mrs. Linde came in and agree to help her out by talking to Krogstad about this situation he put Nora into. Nora taking this too serious, thinking and might just end her life before her husband Torvald read the letter.
"Seven hours till midnight, then twenty-four hours till midnight tomorrow, then the tarantella will be over. Twenty-four and seven... thirty-one hours to live."(Ibsen 206) Hope Nora knows what she doing, it could be a mistake. Let just see what happen in the final act. :3

I totally agree with u and im also glad that she did not cheat on her husband! She has already commited the "crime" of faking a signature and cheating would have taken it over the line! But gladly she did not cheat and it was pretty disturbing how she was flirting with him! Like stick to a man women! Anyways that is my opinion
