Torvald's decision to fire Krogstad is driven by his belief in upholding his reputation and maintaining control. He is concerned with how others perceive him and wants to assert his dominance in the situation. Additionally, Torvald's ego is also at play here, as he wants to protect his image as a respectable and authoritative figure.

How do you describe the dolls house?
A Doll's House was written by Henrik Ibsen. This play is a commentary to the 19th century marriage norms, the traditional roles of men and women. This play was highly controversial during its time. For one thing, the sacred of marriage was highly valued and being portrayed in this way was unacceptable. It is known to be a feminist play. The main character is Nora Helmer, the wife of Torvald Helmer. Throughout the play she is treated like a child by her husband. Nils Krogstad is a sleazy lawyer who Nora borrowed money from to save her husband. Krogstad is fired from job by Torvald and decides to blackmail him by writing a letter that describes the debt that Nora is in. Torvald reads the letter and scolds her, telling her that she is horrible wife, mother and that their marriage will be for appearances sake. However, Krogstad decides not to blackmail Nora (with the help of her friend Kristine), and so Torvald takes back what he said previously. By this Nora realizes that her marriage is fake. That she was a just a toy to first her father and now her husband and that she does not know herself at all. She decides to leave Torvald, to much of his dismay, so that she can rediscover herself.
