Read the excerpt from act 2 of A Doll's House.Rank: [leaning towards her] Nora—do you think he is the only one—?Nora: [with a slight start] The only one—?Rank: The only one who would gladly give his life for your sake.Nora: [sadly] Is that it?Rank: I was determined you should know it before I went away, and there will never be a better opportunity than this. Now you know it, Nora. And now you know, too, that you can trust me as you would trust no one else.Nora: [rises, deliberately and quietly] Let me pass.Rank: [makes room for her to pass him, but sits still] Nora!Nora: [at the hall door] Helen, bring in the lamp. [Goes over to the stove.] Dear Doctor Rank, that was really horrid of you.Rank: To have loved you as much as anyone else does? Was that horrid?Nora: No, but to go and tell me so. There was really no need—Rank: What do you mean? Did you know—? [MAID enters with lamp, puts it down on the table, and goes out.] Nora—Mrs. Helmer—tell me, had you any idea of this?Nora: Oh, how do I know whether I had or whether I hadn't? I really can't tell you—To think you could be so clumsy, Doctor Rank! We were getting on so nicely.Rank: Well, at all events you know now that you can command me, body and soul. So won't you speak out?Nora: [looking at him] After what happened?Rank: I beg you to let me know what it is.Nora: I can't tell you anything now.Rank: Yes, yes. You mustn't punish me in that way. Let me have permission to do for you whatever a man may do.Nora: You can do nothing for me now. Besides, I really don't need any help at all. You will find that the whole thing is merely fancy on my part. It really is so—of course it is! [Sits down in the rocking-chair, and looks at him with a smile.] You are a nice sort of man, Doctor Rank! Don't you feel ashamed of yourself, now the lamp has come?
