Read the excerpt from act 2 of A Doll’s House.

Answer:

The answer is indeed “You will see I am man enough to take everything upon myself.”

Explanation:

Torvald and Nora Helmer are husband and wife in the play "A Doll's House", by Henrik Ibsen. Torvald is an abusive husband who treats Nora as if she were his inferior in every possible way. He likes to think of himself as her savior, and tries to live up to the idea that a husband must provide and protect, even if that involves killing someone. Or, at least, those are the words that come out of his mouth. Torvald's character is much alike to a child's as several passages in the play reveal. It's almost as if he lives life in his delusional imagination, as a little spoiled tyrant.

In the specific excerpt we are studying here, the line that best serves as evidence to the theme that men are expected to be providers and protectors is:

“You will see I am man enough to take everything upon myself.”

Nora and Torvald are talking of a possible revenge by another character. Torvald seems to believe that, as a man, he is supposed to defend his family and himself no matter what. If he has to kill someone, then be it. He would only be acting as the man he is. When Nora reacts with shock, he condescendingly tells her that they shall share the crime, as husband and wife should. That means he expects her to be loyal to him under any circumstances.
