By the end of the dialog between Nora and Krogstad Nora charming ways appear to be having a slight effect on Krogstad. He is not putting the letter in the box. Krogstad sees this and does not give her the satisfaction of being able to use her charming ways on him. She gets Krogstad to stay away from the conversation at had. It is demonstrated by several of its characters breaking away from the social standards of their time and acting on their own terms. The sweet and conniving wife and the oblivious portrait of society shows that a woman from this society wanting to be head strong in the end is only tied down by the rules of society. Krog: Have you forgotten that it is I who have the keeping of your reputation? (Nora stands speechlessly looking at him) Well, now, I have warned you. By doing this, she not only broke the law but she stepped away from the role society had placed on her of being dependent on her husband. Nora: (Goes to the hall door, opens it slightly and listens). Ibsen used Nora's secessions, as an example to illustrate that society's expectations of a woman's role in society and marriage were incorrect.
