A doll House First Reflection

WOW it has been a long time since we have had to do one of these thingies.. Anyway on to the play, the minute I saw groups on the board when i walked into the room I absolutely dreaded starting the play. I normally dislike reading aloud but throughout the class today i found that the slower pace that reading aloud brings enabled me to spend more time analyzing the words and how they fit into the context. I found humor in the self centered nature of both Nora and her husband, and some of their bantering back and forth brought forth laughs from our group.  Also just after reading the first little bit of the play, there is already a great deal of conflict introduced. Nora has her little debt and shady business she is hiding from her husband, and her relationship with her husband seems entirely fake and to centered on agreeing with each other that there is no possible way they will still be in a healthy relationship throughout the entire play.  Those are just some of my opening thoughts, not really all that profound, but I'm looking forward to how the play develops.
