At the start of act II, Nora is acting quite *jauntily* because of the lies she is able to cover up. I believe that the best thing for Nora is to not tell people about the secret. For an example when she gets Ms. Linde involved into trying to get the letter from Torvald, it was a helpless idea because she acts like Krogstad wont show Torvald the letter even when she Is getting blackmailed. The thing that Nora doesn't understand is that honesty is best for you.
    There could be two possible outcomes for what she did. It will either bring her and Torvald closer or apart. Nora lying proves that she cant tell her husband herself about what happened. Another thing is that she should be more careful to who she tells her secret, for instance Ms.Linde. As we learn in act III Ms.Linde plans on telling Torvald everything

        Act 1 opens up with an disdain relationship between the man characters Nora and her husband Torvald Helmer. Other characters including Ms. Linde (Nora's friend) Dr,Rank (The family's friend), Mr. Krogstad (worker from the bank and lawyer). Torvald who  degradingly looks down upon Nora calling her "my little skylark". And "feather brained". It goes to show that  based on this time era women were looked down upon and treated differently from men. Nora  whos is *frivolous* with money. She is only open to her friend Kristina Linde who come after hearing that Toravald will get an *advancement*in his job. 
      Nora is a woman devoted for her family but then again gloats to her friend about all of the positive things that will happen to her, while Ms.Linde  describes to her the hardships she encounters after the death of her husband. Nora seems to have a deeper obsession with macaroons, because internally it symbolizes a sign of power. The macaroons shows what little authority she has left to keep secrets from her husband and be defiant against him. The rest of Act 1 has background information about the other characters.
