A Doll's House Act 2 Flashcards
stripped and dishevelled,
its candles burned to their sockets
Torvald wants me to go as
a Neapolitan fisher girl and dance the tarantella
his father was a
frightful creature
when we were first married,
he got quite jealous if i as much as mentioned any of my old friends back home
Torvald can’t bear
to see sewing around
nice-
to give in to your husband?
squirrel would do lots of pretty tricks
for you if you granted her wish
memories of the past.
that’s what’s frightening you
your father was not a
man of unassailable reputation. But i am.
he’d make my position
intolerable
i am man enough
to bear the burden for us both
i’ll sit in my study and
close the door
there must be some escape -
some way out
all this to atone
for someone else’s sin?
everything was so
nice
there are some people who one loves,
and others whom it’s almost more fun to be with
i feel the same about Torvald
as i did about papa
it wouldn’t have been like my old friend Torvald Helmer
to show that much courage
think of my little children.
have you and your husband thought of mine?
drown in the
cold, black water
have you forgotten than your reputation
will be in my hands?
miracle
miracle
i can’t get anywhere
without your help
my poor,
helpless little darling
