Helmer: What would that be - the greatest
miracle of all?
Nora: That our life together could be a
real marriage. Good-bye [she goes out through the hall.]
Helmer [sinking down on a chair by the
door and burying his face in his hands]: Nora! Nora! [He rises and looks
round.] She's not here anymore! [With a glimmer of hope] 'The greatest miracle
of all...'? [From below comes the noise of a door slamming]
* 6 months later *
Nora [enters after a long day of work]:
Ugh!!! Such a long stressful day of copying and filing, I am starting to feel
ill. [Pulls out macaroons] these will make me feel better. [Changing her
clothes she looks through her letterbox] more and more letters from Torvald.
Ugh! When will he get the message? I do
not want to be his doll anymore. I told him only to contact me for the
children I do not want anything to do with him. Besides I found someone else
who really loves me.
Dr. Rank [enters the room and walks up to
Nora]: Hey Darling! How was your day? [Goes up to Nora and caresses her]
Nora: Really good but yet stressful.
I finally feel like you though, a man.
Dr.Rank [laughs]: Aha! Well that's
wonderful for you sweetheart although I have to go back to the office.
Mr. Helmer called me back and wanted a private meeting.
Nora: [sadly] okay. Don't be back to late.
I'll miss you.
Dr. Rank; I'll miss you too. [Leaves the
house]
Nora: He’s everything I ever wanted and I
finally have him. Oh my gosh! He left his briefcase. Well he can't live without
it I must go give it to him.
[At the bank]
Nora: Honey I have your briefcase. Oh My
God! [Crying] Why??!! [Dr. Rank lying on the ground dead with a gunshot
wound]
Nora: YOU! YOU DID THIS?! WHY? [Sees
Helmer standing over Dr. Rank's dead body with a gun in his hand]
Helmer [grabbing Nora]: I found our
miracle. He had to die for us to be together. He was the reason for you leaving
me. We can finally be together again.
Nora: [pulling away] No! You took my
miracle away from me. [Walks away crying and thinking] He was everything he
ever wanted and I lost him.
Ok, so this ending unlike others I have read is violent and as much as the original story is good I think this one was amazing. The story made Torvald seem very off and bipolar when reviewing the letter from Krogstad. The way he acted towards Nora led me to believe something was off about him. This was the icing on the cake and showed how crazy Torvald was. Now that I read your ending I kinda wish this was the original.
ReplyDeleteWell that escalated quickly. Never have I ever thought that Torvald could be so violent and dangerous D: . I LOVE your ending though ✌
ReplyDeletethat was a very good alternate ending. it was unexpected and make Torvald out to be the ultimate victim. also nora finally was accepting of Dr.Rank. when it said he was going to die soon, I didn't it meant in this and soon, but good ending.
ReplyDeleteYour ending was very funny. It really made me laugh because it was so unexpected. I thought Dr. Rank only passed out, but nope. Torvald shot him.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the ending.I neverepictured Helmer that violent and mean
ReplyDeleteI really liked your alternate ending> I didn't see the murder coming> It made the ending really exciting, and I liked the detail with the gunshot wound. This tells us how he died so the reader doesn't have to keep guessing.
ReplyDeleteI commented on Michaela, Danyelle, Rushika, and Hannah blogs.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very original ending and I would have never thought to make an ending like this. Really enjoyed reading it, it kept me hooked!
ReplyDeleteI will say this...very interesting take. A lot darker and almost Shakespearean in execution, while also keeping with the style Ibsen set up for the play.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't expecting Helmer to be so protective over Nora like that. It was a very interesting twist to the story that I was not expecting at all. It is sad that after Nora found love again, he was killed. I thought Dr. Rank would die due to his disease but I guess not!
ReplyDeleteAs I was reading this I was just thinking of how cute this ending was going. Then, all of a sudden all of that was ruined in a blink of an eye. To be honest, I really wasn't expecting that, and it took me by surprise... In the best way possible.
