Student’s NameProfessor’s NameCourse NumberDate NORA’S RELATIONSHIP WITH KROGSTADIn the play "A Doll's House" by Henrik Ibsen, Nora and Krogstad have a complex relationship that combines a transactional exchange with a deeper emotional bond. Nora had taken out a loan from Krogstad at the start of the play in order to travel to a warmer location with her husband Torvald in order to save his life. But Nora has kept this debt shielded from Torvald and has been paying it back covertly, using her father's signature as a forged document to secure the loan. Nora's secret is known to Krogstad who exploits it towards her throughout the play (Hossain et. al., 8-11).Krogstad and Nora both have a readiness to take chances in order to succeed. Nora defied social convention by borrowing a loan from Krogstad without telling her husband to save her husband's life. Likewise, Krogstad is prepared to jeopardize her marriage and use threats against her in order to keep his work at the bank. Their relationship is tense and intriguing due to their common propensity to take chances (Wang 240-242).In Act I, Krogstad approaches Nora about the loan and threatens to tell Torvald about it.
