           ON THE ISSUE OF RISING MOB JUSTICE IN PENNSYLVANIA

Dear Mr. Patterson, I write to you with regard to the rising cases of mob justice in Pennsylvania. Just last week, there was a case of mob justice on a suspected shoplifter in a store. I saw the video online and I was utterly and truly disgusted as I watched supposedly "good" citizens gang up on a man because of a crime he was not even found guilty of by a competent court.

With regard to this, I believe that citizens decide to take the law into their own hands because they have absolutely lost faith in the corrupt police system. The police have been known to look the other way, take bribes, give criminals preferential treatment and this has not been sitting well with the people.

I firmly believe that if belief can be restored to the police system, then mob justice would reduce. You can imagine the situation where a criminal is apprehended and twelve hours later, he's back on the streets or someone reports a drug dealer but the police do nothing about it. If the rot within the police is uprooted, mob justice can be reduced to the barest minimum.

Thank you for your time.

                                                                                       Yours sincerely,

                                                                                       Adam Johnson

with mrs. linde, nora reveals her insensitivity and lack of shame about the forgery she committed. she implies that mrs. linde has obviously aged since they last met 10 years earlier, which accounts for nora’s inability to recognize her old friend. although nora seems sympathetic to mrs. linde’s plight, she can’t seem to control herself from boasting about her three children, her husband’s recent promotion, and how good she feels to finally have some money to spend. in a way, she seems to be flaunting her good fortune in front of mrs. linde who, deprived of all these benefits, has come to ask nora for . it is also through her interactions with mrs. linde that we realize something deeper lies under nora’s seemingly childish exterior. she reveals the secret of her forgery to mrs. linde and seems to see herself as quite resourceful for having done it.

in the company of dr. rank, nora is freer than she is with her own husband. she openly laughs with joy at knowing that all the other bank employees will be under her husband’s control. she offers dr. rank a macaroon, apparently forgetting that he knows she is forbidden to eat them. she then quickly covers for herself by claiming that mrs. linde brought them. nora seems much more assertive and free with these other characters, as well as unabashedly willing to scheme, lie, and justify her transgressions as altruistic.  

krogstad provides an interesting parallel to nora. like nora, he too is guilty of committing forgery, for which torvald condemns him and decides to fire him. although krogstad is a man and nora a woman, their crimes of forgery unite them. in fact, krogstad might represent what nora would be like if she were a man and were not strictly scrupulous like her husband is. for example, she tells mrs. linde that "a barrister's profession is such an uncertain thing, especially if he won't undertake unsavoury cases; and naturally torvald has never been willing to do that." perhaps nora would have delved into the unsavory, given how opposite she is to her husband. krogstad's is also the only harsh voice of reality that nora is forced to hear, and that is because he blackmails her for her regaining his job at the bank. finally, torvald’s reaction to krogstad’s forgery seems to foreshadow his harsh and cold reaction to nora’s forgery.
