Stand Up For A Doll's House

All our lives, we are taught to stand up for what we believe in and for what is right. Sometimes doing what is right, does not necessarily mean that it is right in the eyes of others. Take a look at the play A Doll’s House and the protagonist, Nora. She is told time and again by her husband Torvald that borrowing money is a disgrace for anyone. Yet she still borrows money in order to save her own husband. The most significant part of the play is towards the end when the audience finds out that Nora is leaving, standing up for what she believes in, and in the process leaves her husband and children behind to find herself.

The conditions were for her father to sign off as well as herself but because her father was on his death bed she did not want to bother him and decided to falsify his signature. Krogstad decided to leave a letter to Tarvold letting him know what his wife has done.
Standing Up for What You Believe In. In Act three, Mrs. Linde convinces Krogstad to stop threatening Nora and to just let the past go. Krogstad has always been in love with Mrs. Linde and he just wants to be a happy man once more. He decides to write a letter to Tarvold telling him that he forgives Nora of any of the money that she owes him and everything is forgotten (Ibsen, 2008, p.40).
