Extra credit: Act of a Doll's House

The events that just occurred keep replaying in Torvald's mind. After Nora left he went straight to his office and just sat there to think about everything she said and try to make some sense out of it.
( There's a knock on the door but Torvald ignores it )
(Torvald notices somebody opening the door and realizes it is Krogstad)
Krogstad: Torvald I'm sorry to have come here so late; but Kristine told me what happened and I thought it was better if you talked to someone about it.
Torvald: (sighs) I don't understand what went wrong. I did everything possible to keep her happy and worry free.
Krogstad: Maybe that was the problem. You never listened to what she wanted. You always assumed she was happy with what she had.
Torvald: What she wanted? For heavens sake! What else could she have possibly wanted? She had everything. A perfect family, perfect house what else is there to want.
Krogstad: Your perfect family and home was all a lie. Don't you realize that?; She pretended to be happy. Meanwhile she was struggling to keep up with the payments of the loan that she had to get to save YOU.
Torvald: Dont even remind of that horrible event. That featherhead woman almost damaged my reputation with her immoral acts! But of course what else can I expect. She is just like her father!
Krogstad: For gods sake! Torvald! That "featherhead" woman as you called her saved your life. Thanks to her "immoral acts" you are still alive.
Torvald: What good is it to live if people see you as immoral and filthy? I'd rather die in honor than live in misery!
Krogstad: (walking away) I give up! You are never going to change.
