At the back, a door to the right leads to the entrance-hall, another to the left leads to Helmer\u2019s study. Between the doors stands a piano. In the middle of the left-hand wall is a door, and beyond it a window. Near the window are a round table, arm-chairs and a small sofa. In the right-hand wall, at the farther end, another door; and on the same side, nearer the footlights, a stove, two easy chairs and a rocking-chair; between the stove and the door, a small table. Engravings on the walls; a cabinet with china and other small objects; a small book-case with well-bound books. The floors are carpeted, and a fire burns in the stove.<\/p>\n<p>It is winter. A bell rings in the hall; shortly afterwards the door is heard to open. Enter NORA, humming a tune and in high spirits. She is in outdoor dress and carries a number of parcels; these she lays on the table to the right. She leaves the outer door open after her, and through it is seen a PORTER who is carrying a Christmas Tree and a basket, which he gives to the MAID who has opened the door.]<\/p>\n<p>Nora. Hide the Christmas Tree carefully, Helen. Be sure the children do not see it until this evening, when it is dressed. [To the PORTER, taking out her purse.] How much?<\/p>\n<p>Porter. Sixpence.<\/p>\n<p>Nora. There is a shilling. No, keep the change. [The PORTER thanks her, and goes out. NORA shuts the door. She is laughing to herself, as she takes off her hat and coat. She takes a packet of macaroons from her pocket and eats one or two; then goes cautiously to her husband\u2019s door and listens.] Yes, he is in. [Still humming, she goes to the table on the right.]<\/p>\n<p>Helmer [calls out from his room]. Is that my little lark twittering out there?<\/p>\n<p>Nora [busy opening some of the parcels]. Yes, it is!<\/p>\n<p>Helmer. Is it my little squirrel bustling about?<\/p>\n<p>Nora. Yes!<\/p>\n<p>Helmer. When did my squirrel come home?<\/p>\n<p>Nora. Just now. [Puts the bag of macaroons into her pocket and wipes her mouth.] Come in here, Torvald, and see what I have bought.<\/p>\n<p>Helmer. Don\u2019t disturb me. [A little later, he opens the door and looks into the room, pen in hand.] Bought, did you say? All these things? Has my little spendthrift been wasting money again?<\/p>\n<p>Nora. Yes but, Torvald, this year we really can let ourselves go a little. This is the first Christmas that we have not needed to economise.<\/p>\n<p>Helmer. Still, you know, we can\u2019t spend money recklessly.<\/p>\n<p>Nora. Yes, Torvald, we may be a wee bit more reckless now, mayn\u2019t we? Just a tiny wee bit! You are going to have a big salary and earn lots and lots of money.<\/p>\n<p>Helmer. Yes, after the New Year; but then it will be a whole quarter before the salary is due.<\/p>\n<p>Nora. Pooh! we can borrow until then.<\/p>\n<p>Helmer. Nora! [Goes up to her and takes her playfully by the ear.] The same little featherhead! Suppose, now, that I borrowed fifty pounds today, and you spent it all in the Christmas week, and then on New Year\u2019s Eve a slate fell on my head and killed me, and\u2013<\/p>\n<p>Nora [putting her hands over his mouth]. Oh! don\u2019t say such horrid things.<\/p>\n<p>Helmer. Still, suppose that happened,\u2013what then?<\/p>\n<p>Nora. If that were to happen, I don\u2019t suppose I should care whether I owed money or not.<\/p>\n<p>Helmer. Yes, but what about the people who had lent it?<\/p>\n<p>Nora. They? Who would bother about them? I should not know who they were.<\/p>\n<p>Helmer. That is like a woman! But seriously, Nora, you know what I think about that. No debt, no borrowing. There can be no freedom or beauty about a home life that depends on borrowing and debt. We two have kept bravely on the straight road so far, and we will go on the same way for the short time longer that there need be any struggle.<\/p>\n<p>Nora [moving towards the stove]. As you please, Torvald.<\/p>\n<p>Helmer [following her]. Come, come, my little skylark must not droop her wings. What is this! Is my little squirrel out of temper? [Taking out his purse.] Nora, what do you think I have got here?<\/p>\n<p>Nora [turning round quickly]. Money!<\/p>\n<p>Helmer. There you are. [Gives her some money.] Do you think I don\u2019t know what a lot is wanted for housekeeping at Christmas-time?<\/p>\n<p>Nora [counting]. Ten shillings\u2013a pound\u2013two pounds! Thank you, thank you, Torvald; that will keep me going for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Helmer. Indeed it must.<\/p>\n<p>Nora. Yes, yes, it will. But come here and let me show you what I have bought. And all so cheap! Look, here is a new suit for Ivar, and a sword; and a horse and a trumpet for Bob; and a doll and dolly\u2019s bedstead for Emmy,\u2013they are very plain, but anyway she will soon break them in pieces. And here are dress-lengths and handkerchiefs for the maids; old Anne ought really to have something better.<\/p>\n<p>Helmer. And what is in this parcel?<\/p>\n<p>Nora [crying out]. No, no! you mustn\u2019t see that until this evening.<\/p>\n<p>Helmer. Very well. But now tell me, you extravagant little person, what would you like for yourself?<\/p>\n<p>Nora. For myself? Oh, I am sure I don\u2019t want anything.<\/p>\n<p>Helmer. Yes, but you must. Tell me something reasonable that you would particularly like to have.<\/p>\n<p>Nora. No, I really can\u2019t think of anything\u2013unless, Torvald\u2013<\/p>\n<p>Helmer. Well?<\/p>\n<p>Nora [playing with his coat buttons, and without raising her eyes to his]. If you really want to give me something, you might\u2013you might\u2013<\/p>\n<p>Helmer. Well, out with it!Instructions<br \/>\nAfter reading the play, identify a character who, regardless of the consequences, takes a significant risk.
