A Doll’s House, Part 3: Theme and Society

Question 1 • LHS English 10

Which statement best explains the ending of the play?

Answer
A
Helmer defends Nora’s actions, and he decides that they will resolve things together.
B
Helmer calls Nora a hypocrite, and she leaves him and criticizes his treatment of her.
C
Krogstad has a change of heart, and he decides to let Nora and Helmer live happily together.
D
Nora convinces Helmer that Krogstad should be rehired at the bank, avoiding potential conflict.

Explanation

When Helmer learns that Nora secretly borrowed money, he condemns her instead of standing by her. Although he later changes his tone after the danger passes, Nora recognizes that he has treated her like a doll rather than an equal and decides to leave him. This makes B, which says Helmer calls Nora a hypocrite and she leaves while criticizing his treatment of her, the best explanation of the ending.
