Characterization of Nora or in Act 1 of A Doll's House

Nora is a person that likes to waste her husband’s money to buying some sort of useless things and she seems like her husband‘s money more then her husband. In addition, I think she always act likes a young woman to attract her husband or some other guys to get more advantage. When she was little, she’s spendthrift is already appeared, as we can read on page 9, Mrs. Linde says “In our schooldays you were a great spendthrift.” In the other hand, that her husband Torvald says they need to economies her control of spending money. After then she replies an excuse to her husband on page 4 “This is the first Christmas that we have not needed to economies.” I think that is an excuse to spend more money. In generally that I think Nora doesn’t go to work before, she doesn’t really know how hard is the money to get it from, she thinks that money is very easy to earn or maybe she is born in a wealthy family, so that’s why she always spend money to buy some other thing. On the page 4 Torvald says, “That I borrowed fifty pounds to-day, and you spent it all in the Christmas week, and then on New Year’s Eve a slate fell on my head and killed me.” In the quote, we can also know that when the money is in charge by her hands, she will quickly to spend it all the money to buy her stuffs. Therefore, my suggestion is to keep all her money to her husband’s bank account. Whenever she needs money, she has to ask her husband and put a limit in everyday she spends.
