A. importance of money B. appearance versus reality D. deceit and E. aesthetic beauty
All of these themes are present in the story. In the excerpt, Nora is talking about the secret loan she took without telling Torvald, she has deceived him, and still does not plan to tell him.
Even though Nora isn't at a good position, economically speaking, and has a hard time trying to manage the bills, she continues to spend on things for her family so that it could look like she is doing just fine with money <u>(B. appearance versus reality)</u>, for example, she spends money on her children so they don't look shabbily dressed (which also shows how important for her is <u>E. aesthetic beauty</u>), and she doesn't put aside much from her housekeeping money so Torvald has a good table and doesn't get to notice what's going on (D. deceit). Simultaneously, this also shows the <u>A. importance of money</u>, especially to keep up with appearance.
The E. aesthetic beauty theme is also shown when Nora remarks that that she might consider telling Torvald about the secret when she gets older and loses her attractiveness and Torvald loses his interest in her. This proves that their marriage, or at least his affection, is based on appearance and aesthetic beauty.
