A Doll's House

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.
