In the early 20th century, Nora began life as the daughter of an educated oil tycoon named Cordell S. Williams. Business demands would prevent Cordell from having more children. Nora was the only child. Nora was Cordell's pride and joy. Nora got what she wanted. Mr. Williams would eventually lose his wealth when the markets crashed in 1913. Broke and unemployed, Cordell turned to a life of crime, under the gangster alias of Snakeskin Willie. In 1915, Snakeskin Willie was behind the robbery of the London Heights Trust, the largest bank robbery of the century. Shortly after the great London Heights screw-up, pictures of Snakeskin Willie's famous mug could be seen on every street pole, every church and synagogue, every grocery store and every dank, sordid, sin-filled establishment in the dregs of all major cities in the region. It was around this time that Willie decided to move his family to the western prairies of the country of England. On the quiet prairies, the Williams' living quarters consisted of a 12' x 12' cedar cabin with a bed, fireplace and kitchen table. With abundant acreage, Willie decided to begin his new life as a dairy farmer. It was in this new lifestyle, at the age of 11, that Nora began her submissive relationship with her father. As Mrs. Elizabeth Williams struggled with one illness after another, caretaking duties fell to Nora at the age of thirteen. His duties ranged from cooking and cleaning to bathing his sick mother and tending to his father's every whim. At the age of 18, at a family reunion in the countryside, Nora was introduced to a twenty-five year old mother...... middle of paper. ....it was for herself. As Krogstad is fired by Torvald, he sends a dark message to Nora so he can get his job back. Nora frantically tries to retrieve the copy of the forgery she got into before Torvald discovered it. When Torvald noticed Nora's indiscretion, he immediately told her to raise her children. This is when I discover Nora's ultimate selfish personality. She decides to leave Torvald and the children. Nora then "decided between the life she had and the one she wanted and she chose 'bella vita'" (quoted in part from Orlando District Attorney Linda Drane Burdick's State of Florida v. Casey Marie Anthony). Nora abandoned her husband. Nora abandoned her children. Where will Nora go? No one will ever know. Unless part 2 of ADoll's House was written without my knowledge.
