It heats up in the Helmer home in Act Two. Nora and Dr. Rank have a moment as I suspected they would anytime now. They flirt and Nora shows off her silk stockings. From their conversation, she might be a bit more comfortable with him than with her own husband. Dr. Rank admits his true love for Nora. She's led him on for so long so it really isn't a surprise. I knew something would be revealed between those two !
Nora questions her motherhood. She refuses to let her children be around her because she feels she's a bad influence on them. What she fails to realize is that Krogstad just filled her head up with guilt and worry. The paranoia continues when Krogstad left Helmer, Nora's husband, a letter exposing what Nora's been up to. I don't think she had to go through all the trouble to distract him from reading it. He needs to know the truth for the sake of their marriage and their safety. This shows that Nora is immature and that there is no communication between Helmer and Nora. They're married and any secrets they might have, which in a marriage there shouldn't be, he should hear it directly from her and not word of mouth.
