Explanation:
In Henrik Ibsen’s play A Doll’s House, the character of Krogstad is characterized as someone who is willing to resort to blackmail and manipulation to achieve his goals. Krogstad’s motivation for blackmailing Nora Helmer, the play’s protagonist, is multifaceted and complex, and requires a thorough examination of his character, his relationship with Nora, and the social and cultural context of the play. Firstly, Krogstad is motivated by his personal and financial woes. As a lawyer, Krogstad’s reputation has been tarnished due to his past acts of forgery. He is also struggling with debt and the possibility of losing his job at the bank where Nora’s husband, Torvald, is the manager.
