PLEASEEEEE

Which theme of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House is reflected in this excerpt from act 1 of the play?

NORA: Yes; odds and ends, needlework, crotchet-work, embroidery, and that kind of thing. (Dropping her voice) And other things as well. You know Torvald left his office when we were married? There was no prospect of promotion there, and he had to try and earn more than before. But during the first year he over-worked himself dreadfully. You see, he had to make money every way he could, and he worked early and late; but he couldn't stand it, and fell dreadfully ill, and the doctors said it was necessary for him to go south.

B. poverty and adversity
C. the importance of money
D. the evils of materialism

Answer: C) the importance of money.

Step-by-step explanation: In literature, the theme is the underlying message of a story, it is what critical belief about life is the author trying to convey in the writing of a novel, play, short story or poem. Usually this belief, or idea, is universal and transcends cultural barriers. In the given excerpt from "A Doll's House" we can see reflected the theme of the importance of money, because Nora is explaining all the things her husband had to do in order to earn more money.
