Advertisements
Solution
- Torvald initially expresses strong declarations of love and affection for Nora. He denounces her actions vehemently, showing his preoccupation with his social image and reputation rather than understanding her motives.
- Torvald's primary concern is how the revelation will affect his social standing. He berates Nora, calling her a liar and criminal, and shows more concern for his own embarrassment than for her sacrifices.
- Nora realizes that Torvald's love is conditional and dependent on her subservience and adherence to societal norms. Her response is one of clarity and resolve.
- Nora decides to leave Torvald and her children, recognizing the need to discover herself and gain independence.
- Realizing the gravity of Nora's decision, Torvald pleads with her to stay. He promises to change and tries to convince her that they can rebuild their lives together.
