In the clip of the play of “A doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen video in act one scene. As Christmas music is playing in the background a horse drawn carriage is riding down toward a small village on a dark night going to a house. The woman that came to the house had a lot of gift boxes on her hands. She was wearing a long red fancy dress jacket. She was greeted at the door by a servant. The servant took an item from the top of the gift boxes and placed it on a table next to the door, as the women went to knock on the door of the room Helmer was in. After knocking on the door she headed toward where the pianos are. She briefly stopped to sneak a piece of candy from her jacket sleeve. After placing the piece of candy in her mouth she hides the little white bag inside the piano between the keyboards. She then turns and takes off her heavy clothes. She walks toward Mr. Helmer’s office and knocks on the door. She enters the room in sat down on Mr. Helmer table, pushing Mr. Helmer hand so that he can stop writing what he was doing but Mr. Helmer didn’t want to stop writing, he continue to writing . At this time all she talks about is money; how he can have a lot of money and other cool stuff, he told her u can always wait for the New Year, by the looks on her face she didn’t want to wait for next year. Mr. Helmer’s asked when she got home. She explained that she went shopping for him and the kids also. They got into a conversation about money. He wonders if she spent too much money to buy use less thing that she doesn’t use. She loves to spend money. She needed money to spend. He says that they don’t have enough money. Her response is that they could always borrow some money from other people that have money. For a second he thought about what she told him. She also showed him she cares about him. She left all her kids at her house. She doesn’t care about other people but him only. When he tokes the money out of his pocket in give her $40.00, she was so happy and after she want to the other room to show him what she brought him, withes the Christmas tree, he like it and give her a kiss on her hand. After she shows him what she gets the kids for Christmas, he try to take one gift away from her to open it then she said to him no u can’t open it because it’s for later, after she place the gift that he can’t open under the Christmas tree. He ask her what does she want for Christmas, at first she stop in told him nothing, he said tell me what you really want for Christmas, them she change her mind and said to him if u really want to give me something you should give me money so that I can buy something for myself in put it under the Christmas tree. After he response at her saying that in what are u spinning the money on, is an on housekeeping and also thing that are used less. She response to him but it not faire, she ask him how come you said something like that I always save. He gets up in walk, in stop ask her a question are u show u didn’t come to the village for something, she response no. Them he give her a big huge. My opinions in this play is that I think that she playing him for his money, because she loves to spends money so much, or maybe they used to date each other long time ago. Maybe that’s why she was all up on him in the small clip. I also think that he think that she really like him, the way he like her. The reason why she came to the village is to use him and takes all his money that he have.
