Whoo, boy! Ibsen's Nora, and the Kids.


I remember the powerful feeling you get at the end of Ibsen's "A Doll's House", when Nora [spoiler!] leaves Torvald; specifically as relates to the kids they had together. Nora's *leaving* the *kids*!!!

I think the kids are almost like all the great cinematic "What-ever-happened-to?"s, like Fellini's Cabiria. What do you think is going to happen to Frank and Cathy's kids?

I don't see Cathy just leaving the kids. I'm guessing she'll take 'em to Baltimore, take up with Raymond, and create a mixed household, where the kids'll come to see Sarah as a kind of step-sister.

I mean, what else could happen?
