The Doll's House acts II and III

After finishing The Doll House, the true antagonist turned out to be Torvold. Krogstad now seems like another victim trying to make a better life. I have also come to the conclusion that both Mrs. Linde and Dr. Rank are foil characters. Mrs. Linde is the opposite of Nora. Mrs. Linde from the beginning showed her independence. Dr. Rank is the opposite of Torvald. Dr. Rank values love more than he values social status. Nora is a very complex character. She develops tremendously and she comes to realize she was always utilized for appearance. Nora ends the play making a stand for independence. I am pleases with Nora’s decision, and I hope she goes after Dr. Rank, but her decision to leave her children behind seems very cruel. Torvold another complex character loses all he wanted. He does not have control over his wife anymore. In other words he loses his doll. I enjoyed how Krogstad’s character developed. He went from being the antagonist to becoming a possible minor protagonist. Krogstad left behind his blackmailing and decided for true love instead.

All in all I enjoyed the play immensely and I would love to see it performed.
