He will not let a woman tell him what to do, even if she is asking, like Nora is, in a submissive manner, promising to entertain him. </u><u>He makes such a decisive show of mailing the letter firing Krogstad because he wants to make sure Nora knows her place. He wants to show his superiority and authority over his wife.</u>
