So far a dolls house has been a very entertaining book to read. It has been full of suspense and some dramatic irony which always had you on the edge of your seat wondering what was going to happen next. Earlier on in the story we discovered how frivolous Nora could be. At first I felt like Torvald may be at the wrong by calling Nora names like Squirrel and skylark but soon the roles reversed. Once we heard lines like "but torvald, surely we can waste a little - just the trendiest bit?" it was soon obvious she was not afraid of squandering any of torvald's money.
Next, we soon found out how Nora could act in a childish manner for her advantage. For example when Nora said "ten-twenty-thirty-fourth! Oh thank you, Torvald, thank you." as she counted the money given to her by Torvald. We even saw this with Nora when she bragged about how she "earned" the money for the trip to Italy to Kristina. We soon discovered there would be no advancements in Nora's future as bad decisions from the past are catching up to her. Once krogstad brought up the topic about the debt we soon saw another display of childish actions. For example when she said "corrupt my little children - poison my home? That's not true! It could never, never be true." Nora said that as if she was some child after just finding out they were about to be caught for doing something wrong. It should be very interesting and revealing to see how the rest of the story plays out.

I agree Nora is very childish and she did count the money when Helmer gave it to her.
