Question

Which statement he’s describes the conflict in act 2 of a dolls house

Answer 1

The statement that best describes the conflict is: Nora has forged her father's name on the loan she received from Krogstad, and he is threatening to expose her to Helmer.

Step-by-step explanation:

That is precisely the main plot of the play A Doll's House: Nora borrowed some money from the bank after forging her father's signature. She used the money to take her husband, Torvald, to Italy where he would recover from a disease. Torvald works at the bank where Nora got the loan and he is now about to fire an employee, Krogstad. That is why Krogstad decides to blackmail Nora. He tells her that, if she doesn't convince her husband to not fire him, he will reveal the truth about the loan.

Answer 2

Helmer is controlling and does not want to be seen as one who lets his wife sway or control him

or/and

Helmer does not like the way Krogstad tries to be his equal, and he wants to fire him from the bank

Step-by-step explanation:

“A Doll's House” revolves around one marriage in the 19th century, but reveals insights into timeless topics like gender roles, economic justice, love and deceit. According to director May, the story indicates how gender inequality harms everyone involved—like Torvald, Nora and their children—not just women.
