In Act III of A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen it surprised me to find out that Mrs. Linde and Krogstad dated. Ibsen writes "What was there to understand, except what the whole world could see--a heartless woman drops a man when a better catch comes along?" (1156). I didn't make any connections to why Mrs. Linde would talk to Krogstad for Nora to help her out of her situation. I wasn't surprised Mrs. Linde didn't want Krogstad to take the letter back as Ibsen writes "I'll ask for my letter back." (1158). I think Mrs. Linde really wants to help Nora by letting Torvald find out about the money Nora borrowed.
i agree with Shaquesha because it surprised me as well to find out that those two had dated. Everything seems to make a bit more sense now by act III
