Doll House ACT II A Doll House represents Nora as the essential doll in the house. Nora is being threatening by krogstad, because she forged her fathers signature on the agreement they made. In order for him not to tell her husband about the transaction, she has to convince Torvald, to give him back his position at the bank. In order to convince him, she tells him, Krogstad is a dangerous man, he will try to hurt our family. She begs him to protect his family in everyway that she could possibly think, she even go as far as to be a doll try one of her slippery tricks, call herself those childish names he like to call her, but still Torvald is not convinced. This is something hard for her to do because her husband has made up his mind already, he does not want Krogstad to work at the bank anymore, because of his criminal background, and especially his character. No matter how hard Nora tries, there is no way she can change his mind about this. No matter how much she wants him to prove that she loves her . If you love me youll to it for me. The scene began to shift into dark, which symbolizes something unpleasant is going to take place.

Still, will Nora have the courage to tell her husband the whole truth? In that way, she will be free with herself--she will not feel like she is caring a ton of brick.
