A Doll’s House, Part 1: Dramatic Structure and Characterization

Question 1 • WCA - English 2A

How does the conflict between Nora, Krogstad, and Torvald affect the plot?

Answer

It will have little to no impact because this is background information used to create character.

It will have a minor impact because Nora and Krogstad are both guilty of the same crime.

It will have a major impact because it hints at future conflicts between Nora and her husband.

It will have a major impact because Nora is a good liar, and Torvald will never learn the truth.

Explanation

The conflict centers on Krogstad’s knowledge of Nora’s secret and the danger that Torvald may discover it. This creates tension that drives the plot and foreshadows a serious conflict between Nora and her husband. Choice C is correct because the conflict has a major impact; it is not merely background information, and the truth is not guaranteed to remain hidden.
