A Doll's House?

Question

has anyone read this book/play
i so, can you tell me why Nora needed a loan from the bank?

Answer 1

In the past, her husband was ill. Doctors thought he might benefit from a stay in Italy. She and her husband had "no money." That was the reason that she borrowed money. To send him there.

She did not borrow money from a bank. She borrowed it from a man, a private person. As a woman in Norway, she had no legal standing. Her own father was alive, so she put his signature to the loan paper. By the time she signed his name to the loan, her father had died.

This meant that she had committed fraud. The lender had both her and her husband in his power.

Answer 2

I can tell you but you need to read it yourself.
