Read the excerpt from act 2 of A Doll's House. Mrs. Linde: [goes on sewing. A short silence] Does Doctor Rank come here everyday

? Nora: Everyday regularly. He is Torvald's most intimate friend, and a great friend of mine too. He is just like one of the family. Mrs. Linde: But tell me this—is he perfectly sincere? I mean, isn't he the kind of man that is very anxious to make himself agreeable? Nora: Not in the least. What makes you think that? Mrs. Linde: When you introduced him to me yesterday, he declared he had often heard my name mentioned in this house; but afterwards I noticed that your husband hadn't the slightest idea who I was. So how could Doctor Rank—? Nora: That is quite right, Christine. Torvald is so absurdly fond of me that he wants me absolutely to himself, as he says. At first he used to seem almost jealous if I mentioned any of the dear folk at home, so naturally I gave up doing so. But I often talk about such things with Doctor Rank, because he likes hearing about them. Mrs. Linde: Listen to me, Nora. You are still very like a child in many things, and I am older than you in many ways and have a little more experience. Let me tell you this—you ought to make an end of it with Doctor Rank. How does the conversation between Mrs. Linde and Nora affect the plot?

In "A Doll's House," by Henrik Ibsen, the conversation between Mrs. Linde and Nora exposes Nora's inexperience and reveals Doctor Rank's interest in her. Besides, Nora and Kristine have not seen each other for years, so the encounter also serves as a summary of their past lives and provides background information to further understand the characters and the story. As a matter of fact, Kristine is now a widow who has come to Torvald to obtain employment, but she also learns that Nora has secretely got in debt so that her huband could afford a health treatment in Italy to save his life.

1. Odysseus wakes up on the island of the Phaecians confused about his newest location. He sees Naussica, and begins to plead with her:

"Should he fling his arms around her knees, the young beauty,

plead for help, or stand back, plead with a winning word,

beg her to lead him to the town and lend him clothing?

This was the better way, he thought. Plead now

with a subtle, winning word and stand well back,

don’t clasp her knees, the girl might bridle, yes. "

2. Odysseus woke lacking clothes on the island of the Phaecians:

"Muttering so, great Odysseus crept out of the bushes,

stripping off with his massive hand a leafy branch

from the tangled olive growth to shield his body,

hide his private parts."

He is bathed and given clothes by the princess and her maids:

"They laid out cloak and shirt for him to wear,

they gave him the golden flask of suppling olive oil

and pressed him to bathe himself in the river’s stream.

Then thoughtful Odysseus reassured the handmaids,

“Stand where you are, dear girls, a good way off,

so I can rinse the brine from my shoulders now

and rub myself with oil …

how long it’s been since oil touched my skin!

But I won’t bathe in front of you. I would be embarrassed—

stark naked before young girls with lovely braids.”
