ACT III

A lot has happened in Act III. In a quick summary, Helmer found out about Nora forging her fathers bond. He was furious and was telling Nora that she is a horrible woman, wife and mother to her children. He told her that she ruined his life and reputation. The maid later brought Helmer another letter later that night from Krogstad. This letter contained the bond and an apology for the trouble he caused Nora. Helmer told Nora that they were saved and they can pretend like this never happened. Then he immediately ripped up the bond and letter and burned it on the stove so there was no evidence (just in case). Helmer then went back to being very flirty with Nora, the same way he was after the party and before he read the letter. Nora did not fall for him anymore; she sat him down and told him that she was leaving him.
There were a lot of ups and downs in this act. Helmer defiantly has anger issues plus he was drunk. Also he kept degrading Nora and that caused her to degrade herself. At the end of Act III when Nora is talking about how her whole life she has been treated like a doll from her father and her husband. Now she treats her children like this, she never had her own opinion and couldn’t stand it. When she was tell this all to Helmer I finally saw her for who she was and not Helmer’s doll or puppet. For Nora to come out and finally say how she is feeling and to stand up for herself is a totally something that you would have thought would happen.
