Torvald Helmer is a serious man who has the power in the household and is always in control of everything that concerns his family. For example, he is the one that holds the only key to the mailbox as well as the money, for he gives Nora a certain allowance. By he always being interrogative towards his wife’s actions he restrains her from being her own self. He is used to have Nora be a submissive wife as he treats her as a doll and often calls her by such a name. He thinks she is childlike and careless, that she does not understand the value of money or business. When he finally discovers her wife’s secret he immediately resolves to disclaim his wife and tells her that she has jeopardized the whole family and their reputation, especially his own, by this act. He does not care that she went through all that work because of him of his well being, and instead he classifies her as a criminal. He only calms down when the second letter arrives, in which Krogstad informs Trovald that he will not go public with the information.

When Torvald fires Nils Krogstad from his job, Krogstad pushes Nora to help him because otherwise he will reveal her great secret. Krogstad was known by many to have been dishonorable however, he is looking to reform himself
