A Dolls House - Act 1

    In the scene provided the women would be Nora, and the man Helmer because Helmer would be the only one to put his hands on his wife.  I think that Nora had her situation with the money in control, of course until now.  She's starting to get worried and paranoid because of Krogstads visit.  Helmer at this point in my opinion is just worrying about his job and his family, I don't think he has any clue in the world that Nora is hiding something from him.  But she is, and she's on the verge of chaos.  In Helmer's and Nora's talk he said " An atmosphere of lies that infects and poisons the whole life of a home.  In a house like that every breath that the children take is filled with the germs of evil "

    That's text to world because most kids would feel betrayed when, or if their parents lie to them.  They think if my parents lie all the time why shouldn't I.  But when Helmer said " It's generally the fault of the mother, though of course a father can have the same effect - as every lawyer very well knows.  And certainly for years this fellow Krogstad has been going home and poisoning his own children with lies and deceit.  That's why I call him a moral outcast".  Now I believe Nora at this point is degenerating.  If Krogstad hadn't talked to Nora before Helmer's talk with her she might not be as vehementely as she is now with not wanting to see her children.  She's really oblivious to the fact that she could be poisoning her children.  Will Nora's secret ever be revealed ?
