B Bell- A Doll's House (Diana and Yousra) due Oct. 30


"You never loved me. You've thought it fun to be in love with me, that's all."
-Nora, A Doll's House (p. 1301)

In A Doll's House, Nora wants more from her relationship with Torvald. She is unsatisfied with her marriage, but when Dr. Rank professes his love for her later on in the novel, she denies him, stating: "...there are some people that one loves most and other people that one would almost prefer being with."

Would she really prefer being with Dr. Rank, or is this an easy way of letting him down? Could Dr. Rank ever satisfy her?

Could any man during this age truly satisfy a woman like Nora?

Please use quotes liberally, and references to other novels are welcome.
