It seems retaining a lie from someone whose closest to you can be hard to keep up with. Do you think Torvald would find out Nora's big secret?

In act one when Nora was talking to Mrs.Linde, Mrs.Linde is telling Nora her problems about what has been happening since her had husband died. Mrs.Linde is so corrupt with money that she wants to Helmer to give her a job at the bank. Meanwhile, talking to Mrs.Linde, Nora always seems to bring the focus back on her. She thinks of herself as being ravishing and I think she's arrogant about the women she is and doesn't know how to humble herself. "I always brought the simplest, cheapest things. Thank goodness anything looks well on me." (Nora pg 162)

In act one Krogstad tries to manipulate Nora by convincing her to help keep his job or else he would reveal that she borrowed money and forge a signature. Torvald feels that Krogstad is a criminal because he has forged a signature and he has been hiding what he did from his wife and children. "Just think how a guilty man like that must have to lie and cheat and play the hypocrite with everyone." (Helmer pg 179). He also feels as if Krogstad is poisoning his children and home with such a filthy secret. "No debts, no borrowing. There's something constrained, something ugly even, about a home that's founded on borrowing and debt". (Helmer pg 149). I think instead of Nora squandering her money she could have been saving to pay off the money she had borrowed from Krogstad.
