Question
read the excerpt from act 2 of a dolls house.
nurse: what, out again? in this horrible weather? you will catch cold, maam, and make yourself ill.
nora: well, worse than that might happen. how are the children?
nurse: the poor little souls are playing with their christmas presents, but—
nora: do they ask much for me?
nurse: you see, they are so accustomed to have their mamma with them.
nora: yes, but, nurse, i shall not be able to be so much with them now as i was before.
nurse: oh well, young children easily get accustomed to anything.
nora: do you think so? do you think they would forget
how does the interaction between the nurse and nora advance the plot?
○ it reveals that the nurse would make a better mother than nora.
○ it conveys that nora does not trust what the nurse says.
○ it demonstrates that nora is considering leaving her children.
○ it shows that noras children would be ok without her.
The exchange shows Nora explicitly stating she can't be with her children as much, and asking if they would forget her, which signals she is considering leaving them. The other options are incorrect: there's no claim the nurse is a better mother, Nora doesn't distrust the nurse, and the focus is Nora's consideration of leaving, not just that the children would be okay.
