Though Nora owes the porter a shilling, she gives him apound, twenty times the value, presumptively because she is infused withthe holiday spirit. While Nora standardizeds to spend and allows the idea ofbuying presents to block out financial concerns, Torvald holds a morepragmatic view of money, jokingly calling Nora a spendthrift andtelling her that she is completely foolish when it comes to financialmatters.Torvalds assertion that Noras lack of understanding of money mattersis the result of her gender Nora, my Nora, that is just like a fair sexreveals his prejudiced viewpoint on women. He quickly makes it knownth at appearances are very important to him, and that Nora is like anornament or booty that serves to his home and his reputation.Noras first conversation with Mrs. Linde plays a key role inestablishing Noras childlike, self-centered, and insensitivecharacter. Though she claims to be interested in Mrs. Lindesproblems, Nora repeatedly turns the conversation back to her own lifewith Torvald. Noras self-centeredness is further demonstrated in herrevelation that she failed to write to Mrs. Linde after her husbandpassed away. It is moreover now, three years after the fact, that Noraexpresses her sympathy up to this point, she has made no effort tothink beyond herself, and the fact that she does so now seems ... ...ut her husband in a good mood by mentioning the costume that shewill be wearing at the dance. The thought of Nora dressed up andlooking beautiful excites Torvald, who takes huge pleasure in thebeauty of his house and his wife.Torvalds remark about KrogstadI honestly feel sick, sick to mystomach, in the presence of such quite a littleillustrates his deep contemptfor moral corruption of Krogstads sort. While he thinks that such abad character is in direct contrast to his winning little Nora, we areaware that Krogstad and Nora have committed exactly the samecrimeforgery. Torvald, then, has unwittingly referred to Nora when hescorns such people. Torvalds unknowing condemnation of the actionsof the woman he loves is an excellent example of dramatic irony, adevice that makes the audience see details of which certain charactersare ignorant too.
