Change is good

             Change is good. Although some would disagree, most of the time change comes because the state we were in was bad. Over the course of our lives we go through many transformations, as we become exposed to new things that change our outlook on life. In the play A Doll House, written by Hernrik Ibsen each character goes through a transformation.

She gets jobs secretly to pay back her debt, all behind her husband's back. Then we see that krogstad begins threatening Nora. He said that he was going to tell her husband the truth about what Nora had done, unless she tells Mr.Helmer not to fire him. This frightens Nora at first but she believes that "The Wonderful" will happen, this meaning that when her husband find out about what Nora has done he will save Nora and take the blame for her.
