A teacher I had insisted that Nora was both the antagonist and the protagonist of this story. Actually, I think that this play could be examined in many ways. Everyone is a villain in some ways and yes like Nora sometimes to themselves. Nora is blackmailed by a banker named Krogstad for the forgery of a loan she committed years ago. The news eventually is found out by her husband. Nora begins to want to explore her own personal growth instead of what society dictates for a woman. This was the first Ibsen play I read and I’ve read a number since. I wish the Jane Fonda version were available as I think she’s a good actress and would pull this off.
