   I usually don’t agree to don other people’s homework, but I suppose this one time won’t hurt.
   1. How is Nora dishonest with Torvald ? Be specific.
   She is dishonest with Torvald because she took that loan behind his back, and then, she didn’t tell him about it. Especially when she was working to raise the money back. For example that one Christmas when she spent the whole holiday locked in the bathroom doing paperwork. (she told them she was doing christmas ornaments.)
   And I thought I’d answer the rest in bulk. I took the time to write these so you can take the time to read. Sound fair?
   major conflict · Nora’s struggle with Krogstad, who threatens to tell her husband about her past crime, incites Nora’s journey of self-discovery and provides much of the play’s dramatic suspense. Nora’s primary struggle, however, is against the selfish, stifling, and oppressive attitudes of her husband, Torvald, and of the society that he represents.
   rising action · Nora’s first conversation with Mrs. Linde; Krogstad’s visit and blackmailing of Nora; Krogstad’s delivery of the letter that later exposes Nora.
   climax · Torvald reads Krogstad’s letter and erupts angrily.
   falling action · Nora’s realization that Torvald is devoted not to her but to the idea of her as someone who depends on him; her decision to abandon him to find independence.
   themes · The sacrificial role of women; parental and filial obligations; the unreliability of appearances
   motifs · Nora’s definition of freedom; letters
   symbols · The Christmas tree; New Year’s Day
   foreshadowing · Nora’s eating of macaroons against Torvald’s wishes foreshadows her later rebellion against Torvald.
