Read the excerpt from act 2 of A Doll's House. Nora: What are you going to do? Helmer: [looking among his papers] Settle it. [En

ter MAID.] Look here; take this letter and go downstairs with it at once. Find a messenger and tell him to deliver it, and be quick. The address is on it, and here is the money. Maid: Very well, sir. [Exit with the letter.] Helmer: [putting his papers together] Now then, little Miss Obstinate. Nora: [breathlessly]. Torvald—what was that letter? Helmer: Krogstad's dismissal. Nora: Call her back, Torvald! There is still time. Oh Torvald, call her back! Do it for my sake—for your own sake—for the children's sake! Do you hear me, Torvald? Call her back! You don't know what that letter can bring upon us. Helmer: It's too late. Nora: Yes, it's too late. Helmer: My dear Nora, I can forgive the anxiety you are in, although really it is an insult to me. It is, indeed. Isn't it an insult to think that I should be afraid of a starving quill-driver's vengeance? But I forgive you nevertheless, because it is such eloquent witness to your great love for me. [Takes her in his arms.] And that is as it should be, my own darling Nora. Come what will, you may be sure I shall have both courage and strength if they be needed. You will see I am man enough to take everything upon myself. Nora: [in a horror-stricken voice]. What do you mean by that? Helmer: Everything, I say— Nora: [recovering herself] You will never have to do that. Helmer: That's right. Well, we will share it, Nora, as man and wife should. That is how it shall be. [Caressing her.] Are you content now? There! There! Not these frightened dove's eyes! The whole thing is only the wildest fancy! Now, you must go and play through the Tarantella and practise with your tambourine. I shall go into the inner office and shut the door, and I shall hear nothing; you can make as much noise as you please. [Turns back at the door.] And when Rank comes, tell him where he will find me. [Nods to her, takes his papers and goes into his room, and shuts the door after him.] How does the interaction between Helmer and Nora advance the plot?

Answer:

The interaction between Helmer and Nora advances the plot because Helmer thinks that Nora is afraid his reputation will suffer, heightening the suspense about her real secret.

Explanation:

The question is incomplete since it does not offer the options to answer, here are the options:

A) Helmer decides he might need to use strength against Krogstad to make him leave his position at the bank.

B) Helmer realizes that Nora is right about Krogstad, which will keep her secret safe from him later in the play.

C) Helmer thinks that Nora is afraid his reputation will suffer, heightening the suspense about her real secret.

D) Helmer agrees with Nora that it is too late and that he has made a mistake with Krogstad, which creates conflict.

This scene from the play " A Doll's House" by Henrik Ibsen and Thomas Ostermeier shows how Helmer as a chivalrous and venerable man does what he considers is necessary to protect Nora and he assumes due to her horror at knowing the content of the letter that she is afraid of what may come.

What does the character of Dr. Faustus suggest about the idea of the Renaissance Man? Is this play a critique of the idea, or is
spin [16.1K]
In a way, Marlowe's Dr. Faustus is both an epitome and a subversion of the Renaissance Man. Having broken free of the medieval rule of theology, he unleashed curiosity and wanted to learn more about the world. Dogma is still strong, but the urges and impulses to challenge it are even stronger. Just like protestants challenged traditional Catholic dogma, and Calvinists challenged Lutherans with the idea of predestination, Dr. Faustus challenges traditional human aspiration to be good, do good, and end up in heaven as a reward. He turns this notion upside down, presuming that there is no way he would be able to end up in heaven.

So, Dr. Faustus is an embodiment of curiosity gone wild. His blase attitude towards humanistic science is, however, some kind of a scientific decadence: he casts away philosophy and law, to embrace magic, as a relic of medieval obsession over mysticism. In this regard, he is a subversion of the Renaissance Man. He thinks he has already learned all there was to learn about this world, so now he yearns for another kind of knowledge - esoteric, otherworldly, knowledge that isn't exactly a knowledge because you don't have to study long and hard for it, you just have to sell your soul to Lucifer.

The Renaissance was torn between two concepts: of a scholar, turned to nature, the globe, the world, and of a religious person who still can't come to terms with the God and the church. Dr. Faustus transcends both of these concepts: he is a scholar who betrays his profession, and a religious person who devotes to Satan, believing (not knowing!) that he has no chance whatsoever to be forgiven for his sins.

In this regard, the play doesn't criticize or support the idea of the Renaissance Man. It simply tries to come to term with the philosophical issues and conflicts of its own time.

Do you underline or put book titles in quotations?
erica [24]
Book titles are Underlined if you are writing them by hand. However, underlining is no longer used unless your instructor specifically asked you. If you are typing, you italicize the book titles instead.
