Answer:

D. Krogstad is going to try to take his job back from Mrs. Linde, and the audience knows it, but Mrs. Linde does not know that this will happen.

Explanation:

In Henrik Ibsen's play "A Doll's House", the story revolves around the character of Nora and her submissive nature to her husband. The society of the time dictates that wives must be dependent on their husbands, who are lord over them. But in the end, Nora broke that cycle and left her family to do as she pleases.

There are numerous scenes of dramatic irony in the play. One such instance is when Krogstad had been fired from his work by Helmer, and the job was given to Christine Linde. In Act II, we see that Krogstad uses his knowledge of Nora's forgery to get money as a means to manipulate Nora into asking her husband to restore him to his job. We, the audience and everyone else seems to know it but the main person involved Mrs. Linde doesn't seem to have any knowledge of it. This is a dramatic irony as the situation seems to be known by everyone except the concerned person.

What was the secret life of Walter Mitty about ? can someone tell me please.
givi [52]

The short story deals with a vague and mild-mannered man who drives into Waterbury, Connecticut, with his wife for their regular weekly shopping and his wife's visit to the beauty parlor. During this time he has five heroic daydream episodes. The first is as a pilot of a U.S. Navy flying boat in a storm, then he is a magnificent surgeon performing a one-of-a-kind surgery, then as a deadly assassin testifying in a courtroom, and then as a Royal Air Force pilot volunteering for a daring, secret suicide mission to bomb an ammunition dump. As the story ends, Mitty imagines himself facing a firing squad, "inscrutable to the last." Each of the fantasies is inspired by some detail of Mitty's mundane surroundings:

<span><span>The powering up of the "Navy hydroplane" in the opening scene is followed by Mrs. Mitty's complaint that Mitty is "driving too fast", which suggests that his driving is an action of the daydreaming and he has lost touch with the actual world.</span>Mitty's turn as a brilliant surgeon immediately follows his taking off and putting on his gloves (as a surgeon dons surgical gloves) and driving past a hospital.<span>The courtroom drama cliché "Perhaps this will refresh your memory," which begins the third fantasy, follows Mitty's attempt to remember what his wife told him to buy, when he hears a newsboy shouting about "the Waterbury Trial" ("You miserable cur" are the last words mentioned in the fantasy. Mitty was supposed to buy puppy biscuits.)</span><span>Mitty's fourth daydream comes as he waits for his wife and picks up an old copy of Liberty, reading "Can Germany Conquer the World Through the Air?", and envisions himself fighting Germany while volunteering to pilot a plane normally piloted by two people.</span>The closing firing-squad scene comes when Mitty is standing against a wall, smoking.</span>
