A woman is facing a life sentence after being convicted of murdering her husband in a stabbing attack at their home. Lorna Middleton, 36, stabbed William Middleton, 38, in the heart after claiming he had failed to stick up for her in a row with a stranger. Police found Mr. Middleton lying in a pool of blood at their home in Clydebank. Two knives were lying near his body. His wife later told officers: "Revenge is a dish best served cold." Mother-of-four Lorna Middleton later claimed she had been acting in self-defense when she carried out the attack on 26 June 2020. But she was found guilty of murder following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow. The court heard the Middleton’s had people at their home the night before the attack. Witnesses claimed Lorna Middleton got into a fight with a male stranger at their home and threw a bottle.

Neighbor James Long said Lorna Middleton later argued with her husband after he didn't "back her up" in the argument with the stranger.

The neighbor stated he also saw Lorna punching William "a couple of times on the head" but he did not react.

He added: "They were good punches, not to knock him out but he was more upset. When he was getting hit, he was sitting crying.” William briefly left the flat before returning, and this was when Middleton claimed he attacked her. Her claim was dismissed by a jury.

PLEASEEE RIGHT A ONE PARAGRAPH ILL GIVE U AND 100 POINTS PLEASE

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.
