krogstad offers an interesting parallel to nora. Like Nora, he is guilty of forgery, for which Torvald condemns him and decides to fire him. Although Krogstad is a man and Nora a woman, they unite their counterfeit crimes. In fact, Krogstad could portray what Nora would be like if she were a man and wasn`t strictly conscientious like her husband. for example, she told Ms. Linde that “the legal profession is so dangerous, especially when he does not deal with unsavory cases; and of course, Torvald was never ready to do it. Perhaps nora would have immersed herself in the unappetizing, considering how opposed she is to her husband. krogstad is also the only harsh voice of reality that Nora needs to hear, and that`s because he blackmails her because she`s gone back to her job at the bank. Finally, Torvald`s reaction to Krogstad`s falsification seems to anticipate his harsh and cold reaction to Nora`s fake. with Mrs.
Linde, Nora reveals her insensitivity and lack of shame in the face of the falsification she has committed. This implies that Mrs. Linde has obviously aged since their last meeting 10 years earlier, which explains Nora`s inability to recognize her old friend. Although Nora seems to be sorry for Mrs. Linde`s fate, she can`t help but brag about her three children, her husband`s youngest promotion, and her feeling of finally having money to spend. in a way, she seems to show her happiness in front of Mrs. Linde, who, without all these advantages, came to ask Nora. it is also through her interactions with Mrs.
Linde that we realize that something deeper is lurking under Nora`s seemingly childlike appearance. She reveals the secret of her fake to Mrs. Linde and seems to consider herself quite resourceful because she did. in the company of Dr. Rank, Nora is freer than with her own husband. She laughs openly with joy that all the other bank employees will be under her husband`s control. She offers the Dr. a rank macaroon and apparently forgets that he knows she is forbidden to eat it. she then quickly covers herself by pretending that Mrs. Linde brought her with her.
Nora seems to be much more assertive and free with these other characters, as well as brazenly willing to intrigue, lie, and justify her transgressions as altruistic. .
