Nora personality

[edward08]

we saw the play on saturday of the doll house.
How do you guys think Nora's personality changed over the play?
i think that at first she was kind of childish and stubborn as the play progresses, she tend to get more thoughtful and aware.

I think the biggest change was the period where she is undergoing changes between her personality. And how she have to maintain a good attitude towards Torvalds. That's what the actress of Nora said.

Her personality was changed when the situation got real. I mean she was kind of childish in the beginning of the play and often called a little Nora by her husband. but since Krogstad came over her house, thats when the situation got real. She started to worry about what she has done wrong.

She was almost like a little girl at first. As time passed she became pro.

she was so worried at everything and she was worried about her husband being mad at him.

as time passed she changed a lot

she learned how to decide things.

she started a new journey of her new life without her husbad

At the beginning of the play, Nora is portrayed as very child like and immature. She acts with total obedience to Torvald and she thinks happiness comes from her following her husband. Most importantly, her identity is her husband rather than herself. This tells that she puts her husband before herself. I don't think her personality changes but her moral does change from when Torvald finds out what she has done for him. Nora starts to reflect back on her happiness and realized that she doesn't feel happy with her family anymore. As a result, all she has been working towards, those wasn't what she thought it to be.

In the beginning, Nora was very subservient, childish, and carefree. She was committed to being a good mother and wife. But as the story progresses, Nora realizes that she is Helmer's doll. A person who has no say in anything and is controlled. She had to like everything that Helmer liked and agree to everything he said. So she was tired of putting on a fake face for him. That's why in the end, Nora made the decision to leave her husband.

Nora's personality seemed to have changed a lot during the play. In the beginning of the play, she was like a child, unaware of outside matters, very dependent on her husband, and so on. However, near the end of it, she became more like an independent woman who decided to leave her husband. At first, Nora did not really have an opinion but her husband's decision was her decision. But at the end, she expressed her opinion to Helmer for the first time which shocked him.

Well it was very clear how her personality change over time. She was such a little kid who cannot do anything or mean anything without her husband. However, after going through big event with Krogstad, she finally realize what is important to her. She realizes that she have lived with someone who she does not really love but feels fun with. She eventually find out that she needs to be independent and she is valuable when she is by herself. It was very interesting in the end, but maybe too radical.

There was a big difference in her personality from the beginning to the end of the play. She first seemed to be immature and not knowing anything about the world outside of her "little doll house." However when she saw her husband's reaction to the fraud she committed, she realized that her husband did not love her as much as she expected and she was just a person who did not know how to do anything by herself. She then knew that she was her husband; she didn't have her own identity. In the end of the play she becomes an "adult" and she learns how to love herself before her family.

i think that as the play went on, there were things that lead for Nora's personality to change! the general thing was that i mean trhought the whole play she acts immature but like i said as the play goes on she somehow manages to obtain more courage?....to like talk like she did to torvald at the end

[cathysjun]

I think she used to be very dependent on her husband in the beginning of the play. She was very manipulative and indirect. However at the end of the play she became direct and spoke out what she was really thinking about. She became really assertive about her opinions and independent from her husband.

[sageda]

I think that brave new Nora we saw was in her all along. She was either just oblivious or in denial of the situation she was in. I think everyone has an instinct to find themselves and gain knowledge and make something out of themselves. She was just brave enough to do it. I really liked the ending.

We all were annoyed by Nora's childish personality as we read through the play in class last week. Just like we had expected her to be, Nora was very thoughtless and childish in the real play at the beginning. She did not seem to know what she was talking about and what information she was revealing about her family to the other people. However, after getting caught of committing a fraud and getting Torvald mad, she seemed to have completely changed. She came to think in a much more mature way and came to a decision that since she did not love her husband anymore, she was going to leave him.

Nora shows significant change throughout the play. At first, she was passive. She used to enjoy protection and security. However, towards the end of the play, she actively tries to protect her family. Furthermore, her way of thinking became much more like an adult than it used to in the beginning. Overall, Nora matured throughout the play.

[joannekim]

I think Nora became more brave and less childish over the play. From the final conversation with her husband, we know that Nora always thought about her position differently from other people. However, she was afraid to show her opinions and remained oppressed. In the end, she becomes more brave to say what she thinks and to leave her home. Nora also becomes less childish...actually, she was not immature that much (she borrowed money and saved a lot to pay debt for her family) from the beginning, but later we see Nora becomes even less carefree as time passes.
