             Linde and Krogstad: An Unlikely Couple?.
             Linde and Krogstad is not, in my eyes, an unlikely couple. At first you would get the notion that they are two different people that do not belong together. After you hear about their history and their present situations you will understand my reasoning. .
             Krogstad and Mrs. Linde were once a couple. Mrs. Linde ended up leaving him, not because she didn't love him but because he couldn't provide for her at the time and she had her sick mother and two young brothers to take care of. Krogstad always thought Mrs. Linde had just stopped loving him and left him for another man, he never knew the real reason for her departure until their conversation. You can tell by the conversation between them near the end of the play that Mrs. Linde really did care for Krogstad and she had always thought about him in the back of her mind. Her whole reasoning for leaving was money and stability. In the 1800's that is what most marriages were about, it was not about whether or not you were in love it was whether or not you found someone who could give you a comfortable life. Now they were both at a very low point in their lives. Mrs. Linde being alone and not having anyone to work for. Then Krogstad, with his bad reputation and having no one to take care of his children or help him to work his way up in society. They both realized that they needed each other, and decided to reconcile and get back together. Mrs. Linde was very happy knowing that she now was not going to be alone in her life and she had something to work for and a home to build. She would no longer have that empty feeling in her heart, it was fulfilled by Krogstad. Krogstad was also ecstatic now that he would have someone in his life to help him rebuild his damaged reputation and to be a mother to his children. After their conversation Krogstad wants to retrieve his letter from Torvald because he does not want Torvald to find out about the deal between himself and Nora.
