A Doll’s House – Relationships
Nora, the beloved and admired wife of Torvald, was married for several years. The relationship between Nora and Torvald had always been passionate, especially at the very beginning. Mrs Linde, an old friend of Nora came by her house for a visit. While Nora and Mrs Linde reacquainted, Nora revealed her inner self to her. She spilled out all her secrets, something which can ruin her relationship with Torvald.
Nora admitted to Mrs Linde that she once secretly borrowed money from Krogstad, who Torvald’s employee, to save Torvald's life when he was very ill. She has not told him to protect his pride. She promised to pay him off slowly over the years by taking secret jobs. However, at the same time, Nora finds herself the victim of blackmail. While Krogstad was on the verge of losing his position to Mrs Linde, he found out that Nora forged her dying father's signature on the loan application. Krogstad threatens to reveal this information unless she convinces her husband to keep him employed. Nora tries but fails. This is where the disaster of their marriage was coming from.
