These days, we read the play "A Doll's House". This story is very interesting to me to read. Also, we see many foreshadows. Can you predict the ending? I think that because of Nora's childish ways of spending the money, the family will end up in poverty. What do you guys think the ending will be? ?

I think that Nora will end up in the same situation as Mrs. Linde. When she was bragging about how perfect and complete her life was to Mrs. Linde, I kind of thought that it would come back at her and Mrs. Linde will be like " Now you know how I felt! ". But that's just a guess.
I don't think Nora's spending will lead to poverty. I feel like Nora was capable of controlling her money because she has had a job of her own, and she had to survive through the times when her family suffered from lack of money. I think Nora is just excited to buy things since she has money now but she can probably control herself.

I think Nora's spending of money will lead to poverty her and her husband. They will have to work hard, also they have been in that kind of situation before, it will be easier to overcome. Mrs.Linda will help them as she knows what means not to have enough money.

To me, I can not predict the end because i think a lot of characters will come up so they can change or mix up everything so i think it is too soon to think about the end.

I predict that Helmer will warn Nora to spend the money carefully, but she will ignore his warning and will spend a lot. Sometime later, Ms. Linde will ask them for money since she is poor. Helmer and Nora agreed, but their money decreased into half because Nora spent them too much. In the end, everyone will work hard to recover the economy.

I believe that Nora will be in a serious trouble for using so much money. I predict that she borrowed a lot of money from someone else. For example, when she went to Italy with her husband to treat his illness, she wouldn't have enough money to afford the trip even if her father gave her some. Also, there was a part where Nora says she's alike with her father and he used to borrow money from people. Therefore, I believe it foreshadows Nora's bankruptcy.

My prediction is similar to Brandon's. In the play, Nora's carelessness is keep mentioned several times. I think the end of the play will be related to bankruptcy of family because of borrowing money or something similar. And then, Nora's husband will abandon her because he is fed up with her unpreparedness. And I think the story will end with Nora not knowing what to do because every thing has been decided by her husband.

I agree on your prediction but to add to that, I think that her friend will first ask her for money but Nora refuses her request. Then not much after, her family will become broke and collapse into poverty. And then Nora would end up asking her friend for money. However, her friend will be kind enough to forgive Nora's past actions and lends her money, ending the story with a happy taste of friendship. This is what went through my mind during class but I don't think that this will likely happen because it doesn't relate much to the title, "A Doll's House". But anyways, this is what I thought of as what could might happen afterwards

I cant really think of any.. But i think nora and her family will face a serious problem that cant be resolved by themselves(probably something related to noras carelessness or money) and after that shell realize that its time to grow up or something.. Like.. I think she might end up thinking she should care things more carefully and its important to be a grown up for a woman who already has a few children.. Basically saying facing problem>learning important lesson

now that the story has more characters and Nora is creating more suspense, i'm becoming less interested in it. it's just sooo dramactic. it reminds me of all the bengali and indian drama my mom and grandmas watch. too much going on

Whenever I make connection, I fail to get a correct one. Anyway, this story was very similar in beginning with Necklace. So I believe this will have similar ending as well. For example, they get to live in poverty, get debt from loan, have hardships.
But most important thing here is that it is most likely to be Nora who caused the problem. As you know, she is a big spendthrift, and childish, so I think she will spend lots of her money on something. Well, this is my guess, so it can be wrong. But in my class, there are some people, I won't say who, achooooomirim, read the end of this act. So I don't think she will able to predict since she knows the ending!

I think that Mrs. Linde will become a central character later on and become really important to the plot, and that in the second act, she and Krogstad and Helmer will become more important. Maybe this is obvious but I think that Helmer will somehow know about Nora's fraud case, but not from Nora herself.
Perhaps this is just me looking for more drama in this story, but I think that due to Nora's indiscretion being let out, Helmer will lose his position before he gets the raise, and they will have to pay off all the debts and become impoverished. Unlike some of the predictions before me, I don't think Helmer will leave Nora, I think he might die, cause he has been seriously sick before. Then Nora will end up just like Mrs. Linde.

I also agree with Nadira that Mrs. Linde will soon become the central character because she shows up more and more in the play and she is not just a normal character in the story but she is actually closely related to the main characters. I also think that Helmer will lose his position in work because of his arrogant acts that might upset people who works with him. This will also give him a lesson (if you believe in sins) because he had always been acting negatively against other people and always cares about his pride and dignity, more than anything in the world.

before knowing the ending, i thought that someone will come and cause the uproar about the money Nora loaned. The problem of who Nora borrowed the money from was introduced at the beginning, which made us think about what might happen afterwards. I wasn't expecting everything to resolve easily with forgiveness. But the story gave a twist, by having Nora realizing and learning about her place as a woman in the world she lives under.
