Another entry time!
In this entry I will compare book and a film based upon this book called Nora, but I do not think there is much to compare, since the film was exactly the same as the book.
As I have already said, the book and the film are like twins, everything that happened in the book happened the same way in the film. Everything was the same, I was not able to notice a single change the director changed or altered.
But what I liked about the film was the actors and their performance. They were really good at what they were doing and it felt good watching the film, even though it was not much interesting plot (partially fault of me reading the book previously).
It is one of the few films that were strongly based upon the book and where director tried to keep everything the same as it was in the book and the whole play. Well actually it is the only film I know that is like this. So far all the films always skipped some parts, added some others or totally changed the plot or characters in their films compared to the book.

Hey everyone once again, its entry #8 time!

In this entry, I will try to respond to an essay or an review I have found on the internet that deals with this book. It was hard to find some "free" critism of this play, since most of the critics I have found were for a fee or something. But luckily this one was free and I quite liked it so I will respond to it in the next paragraph.
This critism I have found has quite similar ideas and opinions on things that happened in book just as I did, so I found quite interesting. The first thing that me and the person that wrote that critism agree with is the fact, that a mother of 3 children would not probably just left her children only to find herself. Ibsen probably have not thought about this when he was writing this book or maybe he got somehow influenced by the society as well and was not able to see this connection between mother and a child. The author of that criticism appears to be a mother so I think she knows what she is talking about and I do not think that these connection change as the society develops.
Another theme that the critic talks about is the thing about Nora forging her father's signature, thus violating the law to save her husband and trying to let her father rest in peace. At first I did not even noticed this thing, but when I read that critic I realised what this was about and I agree with what is written in the critics. A woman in that society could have no chance to know the laws very well so she could have no idea that what she did was a serious crime and she could get severly punished for this. What I also like about this critics is, that she talks about the law to live vs. law of the society, by that i mean: "would you steal food to feed your starving family" quote mention in the critic. I think that any woman or man would do the same to save her/his husband/wife.
And that is about all I wanted to say, I did not find anything in the critics I did not agree with.

Entry #7

In this entry I am to tell what is the primary motivation of the protagonist and antagonist of this book. Firstly I would like to say that it is kind of hard to tell which characters are protagonist and which are antogonist, since it is not quite clear. The protagonist to me is Nora and Christine, since they are the victims of their society and they try to break free from this regime. The antagonist in this play are Helmer, Krogstad and Dr.Rank and in the next paragraph I will explain why.

So why do I see Helmer, Krogstad and Dr.Rank as antagonists? Since they are the men in this play. They live in society where women are opressed and they are part of this. They do not do anything to change it and in fact, Helmer is quite happy with the way he behaves to his wife, Nora. Dr.Rank is antagonist as well, since he is silently watching this and does not do anything. He sees how Helmer behaves to Nora and accepts that... And Krogstad? He is antagonist since the life and society made him to be like that. Maybe deep inside he is a good person, but in this book it is not much clear.

The motivation of the protagonists (Nora, Christine) is the society. They want to break free from it and live their own lives where noone judges them only cause they are women. The only thing they ever cared for was their relatives and they did everything to keep them save. But as soon as they realized (especialy Nora) that their feeling are not mutual, they want to be free, but unfortunately for them it is not possible ... They would have to live in another time or another place, where women are more respected.

Another entry time! Yay!

In this entry I am supposed to discuss the author which I already did in my first entry. Since I do not want to repeat myself, I recommend my readers to read my first entry if they want to learn something about Henrik Ibsen and his motivation to write this book and what was his inspiration.
