A Dolls House
Friend or Foe “A Dolls House” In “A Dolls House”, by Ibsen, the character of Kristine Linde plays a confidante to both Nora and to the antagonist, Krogstad. Mrs. Kristine Linde is a childhood friend of Nora. She has been widowed for three years. When she arrives at the Helmer’s house, she and Nora begin catching up on each other’s lives. Mrs. Linde notices Nora hasn’t changed a bit. She says, “Nora, Nora aren’t u sensible yet?” The statement allows the reader insight on how other characters perceive Nora. Nora and Kristine seem to have a “competition” in telling each other their achievements over the past few years. It is apparent the Kristine has had hard times and worked hard for everything she has.
