The events begin to succeed each other more and more rapidly and the 'circle' begins to spin around her. We find that, for saving her husband's life, Nora has committed forgery and Krogstad is ready to use this information in order achieve his goals : ''(...)if I produce this document in court, you'll be condemned''.(791) This element gives us a hint of women condition in a deeply- rooted man thought society . In addition, Dr. Rank, who had a lethal disease, confesses his love for her : '' You know now that I'm at your service, body and soul''.(802) All these events make the circle tighten and spin faster around Nora, who can hardly resist to this pressure and seeks the relief in wildly dancing the 'tarantella', a dance wich she transforms into a ' life and death' one. This dance can also be viewed as an one of the key element that permits us to say that she's passing from a state of passive victim to a n early state of active agent : '' Nora dances more and more widly. Helmer stands by the stove giving her repeated directions as she dances ; she does not seem to hear them. ''.(808) All the other characters'reactions, words and attitudes form the chain wich unbearably surrounds Nora and wich she will finally break, liberating hers
an 'external' one, produced in the reader's mind, as he discovers the purpose of her always asking money to the husband and having a 'toy attitude' with him ; 2. More precisely, we discover two forms of evolution of this personage : 1. Compared to the others, Nora is the most ' round' character, one who we see evolving, in contrast with Helmer or Dr. Being a drama, 'A Doll's House' has only the diialogues and the characters' actions to reveal their emotions to the reader. The transformation seems to end with the firm decision to throw herself into the water after Helmer would have found out the hidden truth : ''Now you must read your letters, Torvald''. We have the conviction that Nora not only represents a forrm of protest against women's very limited rights in the 19th Century : ''Helmer : But nobody sacrifies his honor for the one she loves Nora : Hundreds and thousands of women have''. )Do you understand what you have done ?''(817) contrasting with his reaction after finding that Krogstad has sent them back the 'IOU' : '' Helmer :I am saved ! Nora, I am saved ! Nora : And me ? Helmer : You too, of course.
