  5. Nora – Act one • Nora is the protagonist of the story. • She is treated like a pet by her husband (a songbird in particular). • To make him feel like a man, she acts like a foolish, ignorant child. • She sacrifices her dignity, but why is the question?

  6. Post-Reading questions • Talk to Nora. • Now that we’re done act one, give Nora a piece of your mind. • What do you think of her, her situation, her views, her choice of husband, etc. • Advise her what you think she should do. • Write all of this is the form of a speech or talk you would have with Nora, to her face. (I.E. Use the word YOU a lot) • Be detailed – looking for a page of writing here.
