In act 1, there are a lot of drama and interesting parts. Nora has a problem saving her money, or the money her husband gives her. Shes always buying some sort of luxury that she really doesn't need in her everyday life. Not to mention she is not a very trust worthy person. Also she is being blackmailed by Krogstad for the money she owes him. Helmer calls Nora weird names because he does not take her seriously like he does to others. Krogstad is a lawyer, and not very fond of Nora at the moment. Also Mrs. Linde's husband died and now she is asking Torvald for a job because she needs money to take care of her brothers. Dr. rank is a docter and a family friend. As of now Helmer does not like Dr. rank because he does not trust him.
"its a sweet little bird but gets throught a terrible amount of money"
