English in class assignment

The movie version of the play and the actual reading of the play vary in comparisons with each other. The book seems to show a lot more emotion as oppose to the movie although it is usually the opposite with a book and a movie. The movie shows the characters to be incredibly in love and they seem to be a little bit enthusiastic almost to the point of pushing it. Nora always seems to be on edge very anxious almost excited. Nora and Torvald seem as though are young love birds. They talk very lovingly and kiss and touch each other often. Torvald seems as though he may be the responsible one in the house. It seems as though all Nora worries about is what she wants to buy next. She gets so excited over money and before he gave her money she had bought the children many gifts and things like that for Christmas. She seems overly excited for the Christmas holidays and she seems very unselfish. When Torvald asks her what she wants she says nothing at first but than after a little while asks for more money. It makes you wonder why she wants too much money. They keep talking about how this is the first Christmas that they can actually buy presents and such. The ending part of act 1 confuses me a little bit. I don’t understand why he asks her about the macaroons does he believe she is getting fat? It’s not really clear as to why he says this to her. In the movie clip of act 1 the film director portrays Nora much different than what she seems to be in the actual book of the play. In the actual written play although she does ask for money a lot she seems a lot more subtle about it in the writing as oppose to the actual play itself. In the movie clip she is almost begging him for more money and it seems as though that is all she cares about. Although toward the end of the written part of Act 1 the author shows us why Nora wants all of this money. It shows a whole completely different view of Nora as oppose to how she is portrayed in this little Part of the movie clip. In the written part of the play Nora tells her friend Mrs. Linde about how she actually got the money to save her husband. Although her husband believes that Nora’s father lent them the money the truth is Nora managed to get it some other way. She also tells her friend that the fact is that although she gets a lot of spending money from her husband she doesn’t even spend half of it because she has to repay the money she took out in order to save Torvald. She hasn’t told him because she is afraid that he may act differently because he is extremely manly in the way his household is being run and he doesn’t like to borrow money from anyone. Especially when he asks her what she wants for Christmas and she says nothing at first but than she just comes back and says she wants even more money than what she had originally been given. In the movie clip the film director portrays her as being more selfish as oppose to anything else. The character of Torvald is portrayed more like he is written in the book. The movie clip portrays him as being a very responsible man and he cares a lot about making sure his household is run the right way. In the book although he is described as being a little bit more bitter toward his wife Nora when it comes to her asking about all of the money. In the movie, the characters look very old fashion. They are wearing very expensive and nice looking clothing. Their house is lavish and they have a servant as well. It doesn’t look as though they are in need of money or that they even had a problem with money at all. In the book Nora is portrayed to be very different and although she is very enthusiastic about money and such like that the movie clip makes her seem much more greedy because the movie doesn’t show any motive as to why Nora wants the money other than the fact that she wants to be able to but nice things and stuff like that. Also in the book she seems to be more of a more enthusiastic mother although in the movie clip there was almost no indication that she has children.
