Weird people + Weird situations = A dolls house

               Hello there earthlings. This is Shelbyck reporting to duty. I am here to tell you that after reading the first act of a "Dolls House" i am greatly fond of it. I find it extremely funny and interesting. I really cant wait to see what happens in the rest of the story. All of the characters have something weird to them. For example Helmer is a a little weird for calling Nora all of those foolish names, Nora is just a mess, Mrs Linde is also a mess and Krogstad is an absolute jerk. The story just keeps getting better and better.
              Nora is the most interesting character. She has a bunch of weird characteristics. For example, after the conversation with Mrs. Linde the readers could tell that she is very childish, self centered and insensitive. She has herself in a very sticky situation. Sticky meaning very hard to get out of. She has borrowed money from a friend and forged her fathers signature in the contract. She tried to justify the fact that she forged the signature but the man she borrowed it from doesn't buy into it. The mans name is Krogstad, a man who works at the bank and is viewed in a bad way ever since he forged a signature and got caught. Krogstad has been an outcast because of his wrong doings and its just his luck that at the bank he works at there is someone to soon be dismissed. He feels it is him because of his previous actions. Therefore he goes to Nora and blackmails her and basically says that if he gets fired he will get her incarcerated. Nora is shocked and stressed because the money she borrowed was to save her ill husband and since he was dying she had to forge the signature so it wouldn't take long to verify.  Poor Nora! What would you do if you were in her shoes?
