A Doll House
Nora Helmer and Kristine Linde are two totally different women. First of all, Kristine is a widow, but doesn't suffer of the loss of her husband. " ... Not even a broken heart to grief over" p.8 The only thing she suffers from is the fact of being all alone. She's a very calm and wise woman. Nora on the other side is like a little child in the beginning. She wants to do whatever she wants; for instance she always eats macaroons behind her husband's back. She's always very gay and singing. She's very innocent and never thinks what the consequences could be of her acts. She starts to panic once Krogstad threatens her and wants to leave everything behind, so she wouldn't have to face the truth. ' But in God's name, Mr. Krogstad, it's quite beyond my power to help you
26 In the beginning of Act II, she's completely out of her mind and loses control over herself. It's a decision that is worthy of respect and shows how much she has grown strong. 65 I think Kristine is a very strong woman and knows what she wants and how to get it. Thanks to her she finally gets a hold of herself again. 'I need someone to mother, and your children need a mother. Here she played with Krogstad's old feelings for her and still she convinced Nora to talk to her husband and tell him the truth about everything. Helmer hears the truth, Nora gives up her last hopes. But even though she sacrifices herself in a way for Nora, she still did what she wanted, because she didn't want to be alone for the rest of her life, and I think that is also why she agreed to marry Krogstad. Helmer to love her enough to take everything upon himself and help her out, but instead he insulted her.
