I desire the com-pany of a man who could sympathize with me, whose eyes would reply to mine. You may deem me romantic, my dear sister, but I bitterly feel the want of a friend.
What this tells me is that he wants a friend that has the same interest as he does. A friend that will understand him and accompany him. I wonder if this forehadows that he will soon find the right friend he was looking for. Pg.7
NOIlA. What do you Wll.ot there? fuwum. Only to see if there a.re any letters. Non.. . No, no, don't do that, ToC\'ald. I (zLMER, Wby not? NOR.\. 'l'orvald, I beg you not to. There arc Done there.

I cnn't dance to-morrow if I don't rehearse with you first.
Nora made it just in time to stop Helmer from checking the letter box. It's a good thing she acted quickly by playing the first bars of the tarantella to get Helmer's attention. If Helmer cheked the letter box and this point, several things could of happened. (1) he could of checked the letter box, see Krogstad letter and read it right there, (2) he could of looked at the letter and since it was from krogstad, he could of probabaly ignored, and last (3) Nora may of probably stopped him just in time before he read the letter.
I want to rise, I tell yoo. I most get into tbe bank again, in a higher posi~ion tban before. Your husband shall crcate a plnee 00 purpose for me--NOUA. He will never do tllIlt !
If this was the real world, I dont think itll be possible to do what Krogstad wants to do. His idea of getting his job back but in a higher postion seems crazy. It may not work as well since Helmer dislikes Korgstad. I believe that his plan will not work and instead cause something else to happen.

Did Mr.Rank just confess his love towards Nora? If that is the case, then maybe Nora is actually having an affair with Helmer without herslef noticing. This may foreshadow an event in the long run; it all depends if Nora follows or not.
NORA. Yea, yell; (or my sake, you must let Krog. stad keep his place in the bank. HBLllER. My dear Nora, it's his place I inLand for Mra. Linden. NORA. Yes, tbat'li 80 good of you. But iusle&<l of Krogstad, you could dismiss some other clerk.
This surprises me how Krogstad knew he was the one who Helmer would laid off for Mrs.Linden. Out of everyone, he chooses him. I wonder why Helmer doesn't want to laid off another worker rather than Krogstad. I wonder what Krogstad did that made Helemer want to laid him off for Mrs. Linden.Pg.64
HEunm. Just think bow a ma.n with that on bis cODscience must be alw&Y8 lying nnd canting a.nd sha.mming. Think of the mask he must wear even towa.rds his own wife and children. It's worst tor the children, Nora!
It surprises me that Krogstad lies to his children and wife. It makes me think that he is a bad father when he comes home to his children. I'm also thinking that he may not be raising his children right since he has been spewing lies and wears a mask to hide his emotions.Pg.52
NoB.!. Fa.ther didu'l give us one penny. I found the money. Mas. LINDE.~. You 'I All tha.t money? NORA. Twelvo hUDdred dollars. Fonr thousa.nd eight hundre<l croWDS.
It amazes me how Nora was luck to get the money just in time so she can save her husband's life. This reminds me of an event that took place recently; my dad won $100 from the lottery which that day was probably his luckiest day because that was the highest he has earned from the lotery. If only luck didn't disappear so fast or came so rarely.Pg. 25
NolU.. now 80! KnOOSTAD. When your husband was ill, you came to me to borrow twelve hundred <lolla.rs. N'on.\, 1 knew nobody else.
I didn't know Nora went to Krogstad for the money. I thought she was lucky enough to find the twelve hundred dollars on the streets while aslo having the luck to find it just in time to save her husband's life. Then again, it is obvious that there is no where she could of found twelve hundred dollars on the streets in the nick of time to save her husband's life. Pg.44
NORA. I should 80 love to S&y-" Damn! " • R.u;K. Are you out of your mind? Mus. LINDEN. Good gracious, Nora.!
It surprises me that the word "damn" used here is seen as an ugly and bad word at their time. Today in the present, the word "damn" is only seen as an unformal use of word and slang. This word doesnt make much of a controversy as it might of did in their period of time. Pg.34
NoRA. (qllickl,y). You might give mo monoy, Tor·
To me, it seems as if Nora only wnats money. It seems as if Nora has a greed for money and only wants to get money whenever she can. If she were to choose between money or gifts, she would choose the money since that is what she wants the most. Pg.9

I didn't know that in the old plays, the character's name would end in a period followed by ther line. I would usually see play with the name of the charcter in bold followed by either a colon or a dash which is then followed by the line of the charcter. Pretty interesting how they had it like this before. Pg. 6
