Im obsessed with nora durst as a character. What an interesting and well written character. She acts so tough and like she has moved on and accepted her loss but that is the furthest from the truth. Deep down she is completely broken and wants nothing more than her kids back. My favourite scene in the entire show might have to in s3e6 right before nora leaves with Matt to use the device. She talks about a beach ball at a baseball game and how an usher destroyed the ball and killed everyone's enjoyment and shes confused why anyone would want that job. And in that moment she is reflecting on herself and why did she want to work a job that was responsible for tearing down the belief system that others have made up so that they can move on with their lives. Its also at that moment that Laurie finally realizes nora had no intentions trying to bust the scientists with the device but rather use it herself. She realizes nora is actually completely broken inside despite the tough exterior she shows to others. The show tackles grief, spirituality, depression, suicide, belief and so much more in such brilliant ways.
Nora Durst is definitely one of my favourite characters of all-time of any show. Carrie Coon is simply amazing.
