HELMER: "I should not be a man if this womanly helplessness did not just give you a double attractiveness in my eyes." (3.253)
What's the difference between Torvald's desire to help Nora and Christine's desire to help Krogstad?

HELMER: "I would gladly work night and day for you […] But no man would sacrifice his honour for the one he loves." (3.345)
Do you think most men would generally agree with Torvald? Which is more valuable to you: honor or love?

Quote 15
HELMER: "An atmosphere of lies infects and poisons the whole life of a home. Each breath the children take in such a house is full of the germs of evil." (1.469)
Torvald is unaware at this point that he lives in just such a home. Has it really hurt the children in any way?
