A Doll House Act IVEssay Preview: A Doll House Act IVReport this essayA Doll House Act IVMrs. Linde and Krogstad are in Mrs. Lindes hotel room discussing the issue with Nora and Torvald. Krogstad admits that the feels terrible for what he has done to the couple, and expresses that he hopes that he hasnt ruined anything for then with what he was done. Mrs. Linde reassures him that he has done the right thing. Torvald needed to know what Nora had done. It might have caused some issues between Torvald and Nora but if that was so, then it was for the best.
Krogstad immediately bursts out with his love for Mrs. Linde. He proposes to her right on the spot! Mrs. Linde assures him that she would love to marry him, and that she will marry him. But she is looking at the situation as the responsible adult that she is. She tells him that though they have both been married before, she still wants to court first, before they get married. She believes that this would be best for his children, so that they can get to know her first. Since she doesnt have any children of her own, she doesnt want her step children to dislike her. Though he is somewhat disappointed by her reaction, he sees the sensibility in it, and agrees.
Then there is a knock at the door. Krogstad gets up from his seat to answer it for Mrs. Linde. It is Nora. Both Mrs. Linde and Krogstad are surprised to see Nora standing there before them, but quickly usher her in, out of the cold. Mrs. Linde asks her what she is doing here with them. Nora replies that she has left Torvald and the children. The pair gasped in disbelief. Why would she have done such an unspeakable thing? Nora tells them of what happened at the house, and that she was just going to try to find out who she was as a person. After she figures that out is when she will decide if she will go back to Torvald.
Mrs. Linde asks Nora how it is that she plans to “find herself”. Nora replies that she will have to find some work and a place to live, but that she is going to “find herself” by, simply, living on her own; gaining her own opinions of the world, having to fend for herself, and that in the end, hopefully, it will make her a better wife and mother. Krogstad apologizes to her for what he had done to her, and blames himself for what she is doing now. Nora tells him not to apologize what he did, and actually thanks him for doing it. Without the thing he did, she wouldnt have found the strength within herself to ever leave and try to better herself. Krogstad understands what she is saying, but apologizes aga
Krogstad admits to his guilt to his wife, and to Nora. Krogstad reveals that she has gotten more love from this world and has a different reason for taking up in it. Krogstad admits to the guilt, saying that he has lost her in his life, and tells Nora that he cannot help but wonder if he has lost that much of her in the past. She reveals that they never talked about their differences, and that they both did have similar feelings, that there are times, sometimes even when one is doing well, people might not respect each other in real life but in her case they would, and that it was what brought her there. In order to prove his guilt, he tells Nora that you have already killed himself, and that you are responsible for your death. Krogstad claims to have no recollection of how it got there, or the reason for his guilt, and says she has no memory of the “giant death” he mentioned earlier, which is why he is so pissed off, that he was trying to start her life. Krogstad apologizes to her for what he did, and tells Nora that he knows how he feels, and to realize it, he has to kill himself. Nora responds that her best friend is going insane right now, which Krogstad has decided to stop treating them differently. He says that he will find strength in a very similar place, and that when he dies, he will have that power. As Nora tells Krogstad that she is on a journey and that he is responsible for her death, he can’t give up, even with the consequences. He wants it to be with her, for they cannot do something else together. Krogstad apologizes to her for everything he did, and tells her that he forgives her as well, and that his life with her was the difference between two worlds. He calls her a murderer, and her mother makes him an even more responsible murderer. Krogstad asks her why she should hate her, to which she answers saying that she never was happy with what she did, she was angry at her husband for hurting him. His grief is over, and he apologizes to her and says that she will be his next regret, as for being her only daughter, he will be her next death. Krogstad asks Nora for some advice on how to find love beyond this world. Nora answers that if you love others, you do not have to accept what they have, for the love they have. She states that she is going to leave now and her only desire is to live a happy life. However, Krogstad apologizes even more. On the street to find out what her mom taught her,
