The reflective response reading journal I’m going to put quotes that summarise what just happened. Krogstad: The law’s not interested in reasons Nora: Then it’s a fool. “If I lose everything a second time, you keep me company” (What do you think will happen next, what will Nora do? ) Write down any thoughts, questions, opinions. Head looking at book, board or reflective journal – not at other students.

Exam Question notes v Character: Krogstad is not a simple, evil character. He does not act out of greed and he is aware of a woman’s influence over husband. v As the play continues, Krogstad will be portrayed as a good man doing the wrong thing.
