Divine intervention is when the gods do something 'against the rules' to help someone. I'm not sure what book you're talking about but a regular example would be if someone prayed while someone else was banging on the doors and the doors magically turned to stone

Divine intervention refers to instances in which a God interferes in a mortal's life in order to bring him some benefit. The idea of divine intervention carries a connotation of not being allowed according to divine rules.

In <em>The Odyssey</em>, there are many examples of Athena interfering with the characters in order to help them. Athena helps Odysseus during the shipwreck in Book 5 and in the battle of Book 22. She also intervenes by  sending Telemachus to Pylos and Sparta, and by appearing to Penelope in dreams.

Describe the interaction at the beginning of act 1 of A Doll’s House between Nora and her husband, Torvald (also referred to by
yaroslaw [1]
At the beginning of Act I, Nora seems pretty easy-going and nonchalant - even a little bit superficial. She seems to love her husband, even though he shows a patronizing attitude toward her and scolds her for spending too much money and resembling her father.

However, she already has some small acts of rebellion - such as eating macaroons in spite of the promise she gave Torvald. Her cheerfulness also seems a little bit strained. We can see that she is a dependent woman who is expected to play by certain rules. We can also anticipate that their marriage is not perfect, even though they act happy.
