A Doll House: Nora

In the beginning Nora seems like a very loving character who is also very well off financially. Her and her husband seem very affectionate towards each other by calling each other pet names and they was they talk to each other. You can also tell that she loves her children very much and only wants the best of them. Later on you see how she loves to brag and how conceided she is when she says things like "Afterall, a girl with my ravishing appeal--", "It was a godsend that everything looks so well on me...", and "...I was the most responsible..." when talking to Mrs. Linde.
At first I thought that she was in love with Torvald, but now I have to question it. She lied to him about buying macaroons and denied that she had every time he asked her about it. Torvald also doesn't know about the whole thing with Nora borrowing money in order for them to Italy, and on top of that, she broke the law and can now get into a lot of trouble for it. Even though it seems as if she borrowed the money so she could save his life because she really was in love with him, but also since she decided not to tell him and lied about where the money came from suggests that she may not. At the time this might have been okay, because it would have been too much for him to worry about, but she still decideds not to tell him the truth about everything. She now seems very untrustworthy and dishonest, which are very important to a loving relationship.
