Paper Summary:
This paper shows that while Nils Krogstad is a minor character in "A Doll's House", he has a major function. He becomes an instrument of truth for us and for Nora because his letter reveals Helmer's true nature. While Krogstad causes Nora much distress throughout the play, he is indirectly responsible for her freedom. His desperation and his letter open her eyes to the fact that she is a prisoner in her own home. The paper concludes that from this perspective, his character is necessary to understand Nora's plight in "A Doll's House".From the Paper:
"In order for Nora to help Krogstad, she would have to tell Helmer everything and she is not willing to do this. Krogstad refuses to accept her explanation and simply tells her, "if I lose my position a second time, you shall lose yours with me" (I.144). Here we see how far he is willing to go with her. His sympathy for her situation is short-lived when he realizes that everything he has is at stake."More papers on Nils Krogstad:
