Nora Helmer

I think that Nora is a very complex person. She seems innocent and happy but it turns out that she is just the opposite. She is deceiving to her husband but in a way she is deceiving him so that he will not have to deal with the debt himself. She is scared of what will happen if he found out and does not want him to be ashamed that he had to use borrowed money. She allows her husband to call her pet names and talk to her like a child but tries to prove to Kristine that she is not a simple minded housewife like Torvald treats her. She is intelligent and capable of taking care of herself in the business world but is very pampered by her maids and husband. Nora has a good heart but has many flaws. She spends hardly any time with her children, lies to her husband about petty things such as eating candy, and she is obsessed with money. Just as many other people, she longs for security and to pay off her debt so that she will not have to worry anymore. She is very insecure with her huge debt and potential blackmail with Krogstad. She is definitely not someone that I would want to hang out with because she is so tricky and seems to have a charisma that easily fools people.
