Because he is shut out of the conversation between Henry Foster and the Assistant Predestinator.
Answer:
When Orwell relates his experience with the elephant in “Shooting an Elephant” it gives some insight into his own psyche as well as the structure of imperialism. In this moment, he criticizes imperialism, showing that the leaders are controlled by the masses just as much as, if not more so than, the other way around.
He describes himself as being despised by the Burmese people. He is a colonial policeman, and in this role, he is associated with imperial British rule, propped up by the threat of force. (Orwell himself served in the Indian imperial police for a time, so the narrator's voice is likely his own.) When the elephant tears through the bazaar, killing a coolie, the Burmese crowd demands that he shoot and kill it. He does not want to do this, because by the time he arrives on the scene, the elephant has calmed, and no longer poses a threat to anybody. Orwell reflects that, in order to appease the angry crowd, he has to fill the role that they expect of him, which is that of a hated "tyrant." This is the paradoxical nature of empire- he must compromise his morality, become what the Burmese people already think he is, or risk their laughter and scorn. For someone that has already determined that he hates British imperialism, the incident is profoundly unsettling, but in a "roundabout way enlightening." It underscores the duality of empire, a world in which a man like Orwell can, as he says in the account, hold remarkably contradictory feelings:
The incident illustrates that, whatever objections they may have to British rule, imperial officials have to be hated to be respected.

Answer: Nora's speech resolves the conflict and develops the theme that women have an equal right to be free.
Explanation:
<em>A Doll's House</em> is a three-act play written by Henrik Ibsen. Its premiere was performed at the Royal Theater in Copenhagen, in 1879.
Some critics considered the play's ending scandalous, while others praised it as revolutionary. At the end, Nora decides to leave home and become free from all the duties and humiliation, which was unimaginable in 1879, when women were dependent on their husbands. The excerpt given above celebrates Nora's independence and equal rights. She is aware that her husband will not look after her when she leaves, but chooses to be free from all the obligations. Although the society might disapprove of her decision, the feeling of freedom is more important to her.
