How would you perform the role Krogstad or Mrs Linde in the play in order to achieve desired effects? I have chosen to write about Krogstad and I think that the desired effect on the audience in my opinion is to be seen as the villain but without being to evil at moments. Krogstad defiantly has villainous attributes which at times seem dominant in this character‚ but Krogstad is embittered by life‚ as he was rejected by Mrs Linde‚ whom he proposed too and he lost his standing in society through

The Last Straw. Since time immemorial‚ many marriages have been unsuccessful as a result of alternative reasons‚ such as miscommunication‚ adultery‚ trust and abuse. In the play A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen‚ the Helmer’s marriage is a perfect example of one way in which a relationship can fail by Nora being the one to blame.
