NORA.
I am going away from here now, at once. I am sure Christine will take me in for the night—
HELMER.
You are out of your mind! I won’t allow it! I forbid you!
NORA.
It is no use forbidding me anything any longer. I will take with me what belongs to myself. I will take nothing from you, either now or later.
HELMER.
What sort of madness is this!
NORA.
Tomorrow I shall go home—I mean, to my old home. It will be easiest for me to find something to do there.
HELMER.
You blind, foolish woman!
NORA.
I must try and get some sense, Torvald.
HELMER.
To desert your home, your husband and your children! And you don’t consider what people will say!
NORA.
I cannot consider that at all. I only know that it is necessary for me.
HELMER.
It’s shocking. This is how you would neglect your most sacred duties.
